Spyders fall short of projections, succumb to Mild Concussions, 92.44-84.00
There's no sugarcoating it, Spyders underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Mild Concussions earned a 92.44-84.00 win. Spyders grabbed a 1.6-point lead on Saturday behind Marcus Mariota (4.6 points), but Mild Concussions held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Robert Woods (15 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 89 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Michael Thomas (11 Rec, 109 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). T.Y. Hilton (17.3 points) and Saquon Barkley (16.2) carried the flag for Spyders in the loss. This marks the second time this season Mild Concussions have taken down Spyders, after winning 131.63-91.45 in their last matchup. Mild Concussions end the season at 10-6, while Spyders finish the campaign at 7-9.
Projected to score 12.49 points, Woods more-than-doubled that amount by scoring 25.4 points as the Rams beat the Cardinals 31-9. He racked up 104 yards from scrimmage and scored 2 touchdowns to beat his projection by the highest percentage of any player on Mild Concussions this week.
It seems like just yesterday we were all gathered together for the draft, yet here we are at the end of the season. How about a quick Year in Review for these two squads?
