Coach Talk

Sidney Dak Prescott
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three starting backs tallied 264 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Mandalay Bay (403 total yards to 139), as we ultimately royally dominated them at the position, 90.6 points to 33.8.
Mandalay Bay
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a whopping 31 targets in Week 16. With only 16 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
