Offensively challenged Dead Again beat Arrogant Americans in 120.25-117.85 battle

Ranking 11th in the league in points scored for the week, Dead Again were lucky to earn a victory against a team that performed even worse, eking out a 120.25-117.85 victory over Arrogant Americans. Dead Again led 118.25-117.85 heading into Monday night with one player left to play. They were fortunate to have the lead already, as Brett Maher (2 points) didn't do much to pad their point total. DeAndre Hopkins (10 Rec, 105 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Russell Wilson (235 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 41 Rush Yds) were the leaders for Arrogant Americans in defeat. Dead Again (5-4) will look to keep it rolling against Norman Nobodies, while Arrogant Americans (5-4) will meet Lucky Enuf in an effort to get some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

Dead Again
We're curious if the GM of Dead Again was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 2.4 points, Brett Maher (0-of-1 on the day) thought that going 1-for-1 on field goals would've been just a bit too dull. Remember folks, every point matters!
Arrogant Americans
Unless Arrogant Americans wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR and two TE) collectively received a grand total of 34 targets in Week 9. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they reeled in just 20 catches.
