Despite top scorer Thomas, The Paper Curtain fall to Silly Nannies in 128.40-93.96 rout

Michael Thomas accumulated 33.1 points for The Paper Curtain, the best total in the matchup and third-best in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to vanquish Silly Nannies, who cruised to a 128.40-93.96 win. There was very little drama in the matchup, as Silly Nannies earned a 69.8-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 60.8 points from Patrick Mahomes (375 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 18 Rush Yds) and the Chicago Bears defense (9 Pts Allowed, 264 Yds Allowed, 4 Turnovers). Michael Thomas (12 Rec, 211 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Tom Brady (294 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) carried the flag for The Paper Curtain in defeat. Silly Nannies (7-2) will look to add to their success against The Empire, while The Paper Curtain (3-6) will try to right the ship against Donnie Football.

Coach Talk

Silly Nannies
Bravo on assembling a lineup that won by more than 34 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right. We should take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of The Paper Curtain, and continue on our way towards the Movie Forums Fantasy Football league title.
The Paper Curtain
With only one catch this past week, the starting running backs for The Paper Curtain should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
