Back-and-forth battle ends with Spyders coming back to defeat NYR in 123.58-94.32 rout

What a thriller! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, Spyders earned a dominant victory over NYR, cruising to a 123.58-94.32 win. NYR jumped out to an early 22.30-point lead on Thursday behind stellar performances from Ezekiel Elliott (22.8 points) and Jordan Reed (10.5). Spyders came back to take the lead late afternoon Sunday, powered by T.Y. Hilton (16 points). Unphased, NYR made a run later that night to take a 0.96-point lead behind Aaron Rodgers (10.92 points). But Spyders came back again on Monday night with their back against the wall, as Marcus Mariota (21.42 points) and Demaryius Thomas (17.8) put them back on top once and for all. Spyders (6-6) will look to sustain their winning ways against Good As Gould, while NYR (4-8) will try to right the ship against Dinner Out.

Coach Talk

Spyders
Whoa, that Texans defense didn't know what hit 'em! 22 connections on 23 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 96 percent for Marcus Mariota. We know the GM of Spyders has gotta be appreciative of that attention to detail.
NYR
Even though we weren't able to get the win this past week, let's remember to give thanks for the bounty of awesomeness that is fantasy football.
