The View From Above come up short of predictions, lose to Go Blue, 228-202

There's no sugarcoating it, The View From Above didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as Go Blue secured a 228-202 win. Go Blue grabbed a 50-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 45 points from Jameis Winston (213 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 47 Rush Yds) and Julio Jones (8 Rec, 106 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and never looked back. Damarious Randall (9 Tackles, 1 Int) and Cameron Jordan (4 Tackles, 2 Sacks) led the charge for The View From Above in the loss. This marks the first time this season Go Blue have taken down The View From Above, after falling 218-188.5 in their last matchup. Go Blue ends the season on a high note, but they'll miss the postseason with a record of 6-7-1. The View From Above (10-3-1) will attempt to bounce back from this loss in the playoffs.

Coach Talk

Go Blue
Hey, it's good to be confident, Go Blue. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Tre'Quan Smith), while still getting the win. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be done.
The View From Above
All of the cake, none of the icing: The five offensive position starters on The View From Above (two WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to record a whopping 324 total yards. Not one of those players could find his way to the end zone in Week 14.
