A-Team knock off Wolverines for fourth straight win in 172.59-133.35 rout

A-Team extended their win streak to four games with a dominant win over Wolverines, cruising to a 172.59-133.35 victory. Wolverines jumped out to a 26.70-point lead on Thursday behind stellar showings from Stefon Diggs, who caught 7 passes for 92 yards and a touchdown for 16.95 points, and Tremaine Edmunds, who made 6 tackles (5.5 points). But it was all A-Team after that. They were led by Christian Watson (46 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 48 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and the Dallas Cowboys defense (19 Pts Allowed, 309 Yds Allowed, 5 Turnovers). A-Team (7-6) will look to keep it rolling against Mammoths, while Wolverines (6-7) will take on The Philly Specials in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

A-Team
You know what, A-Team, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out a starter with zero points (Courtland Sutton), while still earning the win. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Wolverines
Unless Wolverines wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" isn't really a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) collectively got a grand total of 35 targets in Week 13. With just 20 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
