Blue Crush fall short of projections, succumb to Mother of Dragons in 109-78 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Blue Crush didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Mother of Dragons rolled to a 109-78 victory. Blue Crush earned a 14-point lead on Thursday, but Mother of Dragons held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Russell Wilson, who passed for 237 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran for 15 yards for 21 points, and Chris Carson, who racked up 148 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown (19 points). Christian McCaffrey (50 Pass Yds, 53 Rush Yds, 67 Rec Yds, 1 Off. TD,) and Patrick Mahomes (243 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) carried the flag for Blue Crush in the loss. This marks the first time this season Mother of Dragons have beaten Blue Crush, after falling 162-145 in their last matchup. Mother of Dragons will look to keep it going in the Championship next week, while Blue Crush attempt to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Mother of Dragons
Well Mother of Dragons, the good news is that we took this matchup by a whopping 31 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 106. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Blue Crush
So, Blue Crush, did your wideouts talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? Accumulating just two total targets in Week 15, our two wide receivers obviously got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
