Trey Area come up short of predictions, lose to Tatanka in 145.22-87.48 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Trey Area underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Tatanka rolled to a 145.22-87.48 victory. It didn't take long to figure out who would have the advantage in this one, as Tatanka leapt out to a 71.82-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 53.52 points from Dak Prescott (403 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 13 Rush Yds) and Chris Godwin (9 Rec, 105 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). DK Metcalf (4 Rec, 60 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Derrick Henry (58 Rush Yds, 19 Rec Yds) were the leading scorers for Trey Area in defeat. Tatanka (1-0) will look to keep it rolling against Bizzle's Boys, while Trey Area (0-1) attempt to earn their first victory against Your Daddy Miguel's Swag Team.

Coach Talk

Tatanka
Hey, football is all about spotting the mismatches. Fueled by a solid display by Dak Prescott, we nearly tripled Trey Area at the quarterback position this past week (31.02 points to 10.88). Prescott went 42-for-58 for 403 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 31-29 loss to the Buccaneers.
Trey Area
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 16 times in Week 1. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group managed only 10 receptions.
