Let's go defeat My Team in 162.52-87.40 rout

Let's go outperformed their projected point total, rolling to a 162.52-87.40 victory over My Team.

McCaffrey racked up 157 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 30.2 points, while Olsen caught 6 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown (16.6 points). James Conner (107 Rush Yds, 56 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and DeAndre Hopkins (10 Rec, 105 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did their part for My Team in the loss. Let's go (7-2) will look to sustain their momentum against SF Niners, while My Team (5-4) will match up against brenda's Team in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

Let's go
Bravo on deploying a lineup that registered 162.52 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. We should keep this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 10.
My Team
Only one make on three field goal attempts? Sounds like Brandon McManus might have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance.
