Coach Talk
PATRIOTS RULE
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our five starting backs tallied 202 more total yards than the RBs on Matthew's Unreal Team (357 yards from scrimmage to 155), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position (52.2 points to 23.5).
Matthew's Unreal Team
Unless Matthew's Unreal Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) were targeted a whopping 25 times in Week 14. With just 12 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
