The Raptor lose to Naked Bootlegs, 210.25-189.60

There's no easy way to put it, The Raptor underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Naked Bootlegs secured a 210.25-189.60 win. The Raptor leapt out to a 39.15-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding performances from Patrick Mahomes (28.55 points) and Jameis Winston (26.35). But Naked Bootlegs held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Amari Cooper, who caught 10 passes for 217 yards and 3 touchdowns for 51.7 points, and Ben Roethlisberger, who passed for 282 yards and 2 touchdowns (26.1 points). This marks the second time this season Naked Bootlegs have beaten The Raptor, after falling 206.3-182.05 in their last matchup. Naked Bootlegs will look to keep it going in the semifinal round next week, while The Raptor attempt to bounce back and lock up 5th Place.

Coach Talk

Naked Bootlegs
You know what, Naked Bootlegs, we do certainly respect the confidence. It takes gumption to deploy a player with zero points (Devin Funchess), while still earning the W. Try those shenanigans next week and we'll be toast!
The Raptor
Take my word for it, The Raptor... Coming from a coach who is constantly on the hot seat: if this whole "fantasy football GM" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that gritty Graduate Assistant job available at the community college down the road!
