Coach Talk

Washington Redskins
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Our team took that to heart this past week and doubled up OAKLAND RAIDERS at the quarterback position (67.14 points to 28.78).
OAKLAND RAIDERS
A ton of action between the 20's: The six starting offensive position players (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on OAKLAND RAIDERS combined to register a whopping 478 total yards. Not one of those players, unfortunately, could find his way to the end zone in Week 15.
