VA Buccaneers fall short of predictions, succumb to Crab Legs, 126.0-89.0

There's no easy way to put it, VA Buccaneers underperformed, at least based on projections, as Crab Legs rallied to earn a 126.0-89.0 victory. Crab Legs trailed 69.0-33.5 heading into Monday night, but the team charged back behind Patrick Mahomes (65.5 points) and Robert Woods (14). Kareem Hunt (70 Rush Yds, 41 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Adam Thielen (7 Rec, 66 Rec Yds) carried the flag for VA Buccaneers in the loss. This marks the second time this season Crab Legs have gotten the best of VA Buccaneers, after winning 171-127.5 in their last matchup. Crab Legs (4-7) will look to build on their success against Will's Team, while VA Buccaneers (5-6) will attempt to get back on track against Captain Zippy's Army.

Coach Talk

Crab Legs
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Fueled by a solid display from Patrick Mahomes, we thoroughly dominated VA Buccaneers at the quarterback position this past week (65.5 points to 7). Mahomes went 33-for-46 for 478 yards, six TDs, and three INTs in a 54-51 loss to the Rams.
VA Buccaneers
Carson Wentz tossed three interceptions and literally no touchdowns? It may be that thankful time of year, but we're having a lot of trouble being grateful for that sort of performance.
