Falconsfan4life defy predictions, defeat Serenity, 177.48-143.42

Falconsfan4life beat their projected point total, securing a 177.48-143.42 win over Serenity, who fell short of projections. Serenity earned a 25.20-point lead on Thursday, but Falconsfan4life held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Ben Roethlisberger, who passed for 462 yards and a touchdown and ran for 18 yards for 69.28 points, and the Baltimore Ravens defense, who allowed 17 points, surrendered 249 yards, and forced a fumble (61 points). The New England Patriots defense (13 Pts Allowed, 338 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers) and Tom Brady (283 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) were the leading performers for Serenity in the loss. Falconsfan4life (4-8) will look to maintain their winning ways against Eastside Red Raiders, while Serenity (4-8) will attempt to right the ship against Ices Cubes.

Coach Talk

Falconsfan4life
A big key to success in football is identifying the mismatches. Thanks to a solid showing from Ben Roethlisberger, we tripled Serenity at the quarterback position this past week (69.28 points to 21.22). Roethlisberger went 41-for-56 for 462 yards, one TD, and two INTs in a 24-17 loss to the Broncos.
Serenity
The problem in Week 12 isn't exactly rocket science, Serenity. Starting Evan Engram and A.J. Green in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 177.48 points... let's do a bit of research before we officially submit our Week 13 lineup?
