Philadelphia Eagles defeat Indianapolis Colts for sixth straight win in 332.90-216.26 rout
Philadelphia Eagles extended their win streak to six games with a dominant win over Indianapolis Colts, cruising to a 332.90-216.26 victory. There was very little drama in the matchup, as Philadelphia Eagles leapt out to a 212-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 80.2 points from Jalen Hurts (380 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 12 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and A.J. Brown (8 Rec, 119 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Garrett Wilson (8 Rec, 162 Rec Yds) and Alec Pierce (4 Rec, 86 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the charge for Indianapolis Colts in the loss. This marks the second time this season Philadelphia Eagles have gotten the best of Indianapolis Colts, after winning 250.98-129.52 in their last matchup. Philadelphia Eagles (10-3) will look to keep it rolling against Las Vegas Raiders, while Indianapolis Colts (2-11) will try to right the ship against Minnesota Vikings.
Brown (8 Rec, 119 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) scored 38.9 points against the Titans in Week 13. His scoring output more-than-doubled his 17.02-point projection and was much higher than his 17.62-point season scoring average. Brown ranks #31 among all fantasy players this season and will face the Giants next week.

Philadelphia Eagles
Props to you, Philadelphia Eagles. Nice job deploying a lineup that nearly recorded 333 points this past matchup. We should tip our cap to the GM of Indianapolis Colts, take this win in stride, and continue the march towards the NFL Franchise Dynasty 18 league title.
Indianapolis Colts
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 38 times in Week 13. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group pulled down just 22 receptions.
