Cavemen beat Spokane Sith for fourth straight win, 101.88-87.06

Cavemen extended their win streak to four games with a hard-fought win over Spokane Sith, earning a 101.88-87.06 victory. Cavemen took a 20.8-point lead on Saturday behind impressive showings from Nick Chubb (100 Rush Yds) and the Houston Texans defense (22 Pts Allowed, 318 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers) and never looked back. The Minnesota Vikings defense (21 points) and David Johnson (16.1) did everything they could for Spokane Sith in the loss. This marks the second time this season Cavemen have taken down Spokane Sith, after winning 97.5-92.6 in their last matchup. Cavemen will look to not lose that winning feeling in the Championship next week, while Spokane Sith seek to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Cavemen
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a sound showing by Matt Ryan, we doubled up Spokane Sith at the quarterback position this past week (29.04 points to 13.46). Ryan went 22-for-36 for 231 yards, two TDs, and no INTs in a 40-14 triumph over the Cardinals.
Spokane Sith
Unless Spokane Sith wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 38 targets in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group notched only 23 receptions.
