CONNER STRONG fall short of predictions, come back to top deepball in 88-87 battle

Both teams were unable to bring their A game, but CONNER STRONG did enough to get the best of deepball. Predicted to lose 112-103, CONNER STRONG staged an impressive comeback to earn a 88-87 win over deepball. After trailing 87-81 heading into Monday night, CONNER STRONG rallied behind Sebastian Janikowski, who made both of his FG attempts for 7 points. Julio Jones (8 Rec, 106 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Drew Brees (201 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) did their part for deepball in defeat. This marks the second time this season CONNER STRONG have beaten deepball, after falling 131-87 in their last matchup. CONNER STRONG will look to not lose that winning feeling in the semifinals next week, while deepball seek to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

CONNER STRONG
Whoa, that Raiders secondary didn't see it coming! 25 connections on 29 attempts: good enough for a 86 percent completion percentage for Ben Roethlisberger. In what wound up being a ridiculously tight matchup, the GM of CONNER STRONG has gotta be grateful for that attention to detail.
deepball
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Chris Boswell may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort... especially since deepball needed every point possible in this narrow matchup.
