Munoz outperform projections but lose to Joe Montana in 129.90-126.04 battle

Munoz exceeded their projected point total, but it wasn't enough to change the result. Predicted to win 122.31-110.50, Joe Montana narrowly earned a 129.90-126.04 win over Munoz. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as Joe Montana led 129.90-87.64 heading into Monday night. Munoz closed the gap behind Amari Cooper (5 Rec, 58 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and the Tennessee Titans defense (14 Pts Allowed, 297 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers). Joe Montana were led by Kareem Hunt, who racked up 141 yards from scrimmage and scored 3 touchdowns for 35.1 points, and Matt Ryan, who passed for 350 yards and 4 touchdowns (31 points). Joe Montana (4-5) will look to keep it rolling against Arnie Weinmeister, while Munoz (4-5) will try to right the ship against The Bus #36.

Coach Talk

Joe Montana
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by good production out of our ball-carriers, our team took that to heart this past week. We tripled Munoz up at the running back position (41.1 points to 12.9). Kareem Hunt (141 total yards and three TDs) did most of the damage, while Kenyan Drake chipped in with 35 yards.
Munoz
Fortunately, Munoz, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Choosing to start Charles Clay in what wound up being a tight fantasy matchup... let's just assume it won't happen again and move on?
