Z smirk at predictions, defeat Hammertime in 159.20-116.24 rout

Coach Talk

Z
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we dominate Hammertime at QB (34.1 points to 12.94), we also royally dominated them at RB (48.8 to 7.5).
Hammertime
Posting one reception on just two measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Hammertime should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
