The Xtreme top Orange bloods for fifth straight win in 116.05-90.70 rout

The Xtreme extended their win streak to five games with a dominant victory over Orange bloods, cruising to a 116.05-90.70 win. Orange bloods earned a 6.10-point lead on Thursday, but it was all The Xtreme after that. They were led by Christian McCaffrey, who racked up 101 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 28.1 points, and Dalvin Cook, who racked up 83 yards from scrimmage and caught a touchdown pass (19.3 points). Davante Adams (7 Rec, 81 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and the New York Giants defense (16 Pts Allowed, 288 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers) did everything they could for Orange bloods in defeat. This marks the first time this season The Xtreme have knocked off Orange bloods, after falling 145.75-103.55 in their last matchup. The Xtreme will look to keep winning in the semifinal round next week, while Orange bloods seek to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

The Xtreme
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. With some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our three backfield starters tallied 156 more total yards than the RBs of Orange bloods (251 yards from scrimmage to 95), as we ultimately thoroughly dominated them at the position, 54.1 points to 14.5.
Orange bloods
Wait, our starting QB tossed four interceptions and no touchdowns? It might be good to go back and review the game tape: Was Jared Goff actually that out-of-sync with the receiving crew, or was the Bears secondary just that great against the pass? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of Orange bloods?
