The Probing Muellers brought their A game and outperformed expectations, cruising to a 146.44-119.50 win over Dongers, who fell short of projections. Dongers pulled out to a 12.60-point lead on Thursday, but it was all The Probing Muellers after that. They were led by Nick Chubb, who racked up 209 yards from scrimmage and scored 2 touchdowns for 34.4 points, and David Johnson, who racked up 183 yards from scrimmage and scored 2 touchdowns (33.8 points). Drew Brees (39.9 points) and Tyreek Hill (29.2) led the charge for Dongers in the loss. The Probing Muellers (6-4) will look to add to their success against Racist, while Dongers (5-5) will attempt to right the ship against Gandhi's Nudes.

Coach Talk

The Probing Muellers
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. With great performances by Nick Chubb and David Johnson, our crew took that to heart this past week. We tripled Dongers up at running back (68.2 points to 20.4). Chubb had 209 total yards and two TDs, while Johnson logged 183 yards and two scores.
Dongers
Here's a list of scenarios where it's borderline excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Cody Parkey might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following this effort.
