Goin Deep smirk at projections, knock off Baby Slingers in 128.04-103.78 rout

Goin Deep exceeded their projected point total, cruising to a 128.04-103.78 win over Baby Slingers, who fell short of projections. Baby Slingers pulled out to a 0.64-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all Goin Deep after that. They were led by George Kittle, who caught 7 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown for 30.5 points, and JuJu Smith-Schuster, who caught 8 passes for 130 yards and 2 touchdowns (29 points). Joe Mixon (111 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 27 Rec Yds) and Patrick Mahomes (377 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) did everything they could for Baby Slingers in the loss. This marks the first time this season Goin Deep have gotten the best of Baby Slingers, after falling 142.52-110.7 in their last matchup. Goin Deep ends the season on a high note, but they'll miss the postseason with a record of 6-7. Baby Slingers (11-2) will attempt to bounce back from this loss in the playoffs.

Coach Talk

Goin Deep
Just two field goals on four attempts? Sounds like Harrison Butker might have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
Baby Slingers
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 22 targets in Week 14. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they reeled in only 11 catches.
