Joe's Heroes come up short of predictions, succumb to Clay's Cool Team in 125.25-90.75 rout

Joe's Heroes fell short of expectations, as Clay's Cool Team cruised to a 125.25-90.75 victory. Joe's Heroes nabbed a 35.75-point lead on Thursday behind stellar showings from Philip Rivers (29.65 points) and Travis Kelce (6.1). But Clay's Cool Team held the lead the rest of the way, powered by DeAndre Hopkins (10 Rec, 170 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Joe Mixon (129 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs). This marks the first time this season Clay's Cool Team have knocked off Joe's Heroes, after falling 163.3-129.8 in their last matchup. Clay's Cool Team will look to clinch the league title next week, while Joe's Heroes seek to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Clay's Cool Team
You know, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Not only did we double up Joe's Heroes at RB (33.4 points to 16.4), we also utterly dominated them at WR (50.4 to 13.6).
Joe's Heroes
Joe's Heroes may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 26 times in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group notched just 16 catches.
