Coach Talk

prespLAy
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Thunderstorm at the wide receiver position (69 points to 30).
Thunderstorm
Lots of cake, no icing: The six offensive skill starters (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Thunderstorm combined to record a whopping 383 yards from scrimmage. No one from that group could find his way to the end zone in Week 13.
