Lorne's Team fall to Baby Slingers in 135.12-112.80 rout despite beating expectations

Lorne's Team stepped up and beat expectations, but it wasn't enough to swing the result as Baby Slingers cruised to a 135.12-112.80 win. Lorne's Team leapt out to a 41.10-point lead on Thursday behind stellar showings from Aaron Jones, who racked up 103 yards from scrimmage and scored 2 touchdowns for 24.8 points, and Russell Wilson, who passed for 225 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran for 17 yards (18.1 points). But it was all Baby Slingers after that. They were led by Patrick Mahomes (478 Pass Yds, 6 Pass TDs, 28 Rush Yds) and the Los Angeles Rams defense (51 Pts Allowed, 546 Yds Allowed, 5 Turnovers). This marks the second time this season Baby Slingers have beaten Lorne's Team, after winning 160.14-114.68 in their last matchup. Baby Slingers (9-1) will look to maintain their momentum against Randall DeNeutte, while Lorne's Team (4-6) will take on Obi juan ll in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

Baby Slingers
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by a solid performance by Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up Lorne's Team at the quarterback position this past week (38.92 points to 18.1). Mahomes went 33-for-46 for 478 yards, six TDs, and three INTs in a 54-51 loss to the Rams.
Lorne's Team
Fortunately, Lorne's Team, this week's problem was pretty easy to identify. Going with Stephen Gostkowski in a tough fantasy matchup... let's do a little research beforehand in Week 12.
