Despots earn win against Karamustafe in 105-56 rout

Despots showed up, cruising to a 105-56 victory over Karamustafe, who fell short of projections. Karamustafe earned a 21-point lead on Thursday behind impressive performances from the New Orleans Saints defense (17 points) and Wil Lutz (4). But it was all Despots after that. They were led by Travis Kelce (12 Rec, 168 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Tarik Cohen (30 Rush Yds, 156 Rec Yds). Despots ends the season on a high note, but they'll miss the postseason with a record of 6-7. Karamustafe (9-4) will attempt to bounce back from this loss in the playoffs.

Coach Talk

Despots
Hey, we admire the confidence, Despots. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Adam Vinatieri), while still getting the win. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're toast.
Karamustafe
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for Karamustafe collectively registered four receptions on just five targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 14!
