Coach Talk

Nu' Yawk Giants
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our backfield tallied 83 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Sidney Dak Prescott (190 total yards to 107), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position (44 points to 19.4).
Sidney Dak Prescott
Unless Sidney Dak Prescott wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 26 targets in Week 13. With just 16 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
