Smokin' Aces extended their win streak to 12 games with a dominant victory over LC's CRUSHERS, cruising to a 119-78 win. It didn't take long to figure out who would have the advantage in the matchup, as Smokin' Aces grabbed a 50-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout efforts from Tom Brady and Christian McCaffrey. Brady passed for 358 yards and 3 touchdowns for 29 points, while McCaffrey racked up 101 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns (21 points). Jameis Winston (213 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 47 Rush Yds) and Joe Mixon (111 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 27 Rec Yds) were the leaders for LC's CRUSHERS in the loss. This marks the second time this season Smokin' Aces have gotten the best of LC's CRUSHERS, after winning 120-102 in their last matchup. Smokin' Aces (13-1) will look to keep it rolling in the playoffs, while LC's CRUSHERS (7-6-1) will attempt to bounce back and make a run of their own in the postseason.

Coach Talk

Smokin' Aces
Well done, Smokin' Aces. Nice job fielding a starting crew that tallied 119 points this past matchup. Let's maintain this momentum as we roll into our Week 15 matchup.
LC's CRUSHERS
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our three wide receivers were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 14. With just 10 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
