King Of The Hill fall to VABoyz in 104-81 rout

There's no way around it, King Of The Hill underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as VABoyz cruised to a 104-81 win. VABoyz nabbed a 3-point lead on Thursday behind Leonard Fournette and never let it go. Drew Brees (17 points) and Chris Carson (15) did everything they could for King Of The Hill in defeat. This marks the second time this season VABoyz have taken down King Of The Hill, after winning 114-70 in their last matchup. VABoyz will look to keep winning in next week's semifinals, while King Of The Hill attempt to bounce back and lock up a top-6 finish.

Coach Talk

VABoyz
Listen VABoyz, the good news is that we took this matchup by a whopping 23 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 13 stood at 104.15. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
King Of The Hill
You can feel good knowing that your generosity this week didn't go unnoticed, King Of The Hill. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like VABoyz succeed. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of defenses early in next year's draft... something like that!
