Coach Talk

Washington Football Team
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. With some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team really made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters recorded 178 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Miami Dolphins (242 total yards to 64), and we wound up utterly dominating them at the position, 50.16 points to 18.32.
Miami Dolphins
So, Miami Dolphins, what did your pass-catchers do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? With only 17 targets as a group in Week 11, our starting receiver crew (five WR, one TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
