Warm Bodies come up short of projections, lose to Redlegs, 147.70-133.15

There's no sugarcoating it, Warm Bodies underperformed, at least based on projections, as Redlegs came out on top with a 147.70-133.15 victory. Warm Bodies earned a 16-point lead on Saturday behind Ka'imi Fairbairn (22 points), but Redlegs held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Todd Gurley II, who racked up 124 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 34.4 points, and Lamar Jackson, who passed for 131 yards and a touchdown and ran for 95 yards (20.05 points). Alshon Jeffery (8 Rec, 160 Rec Yds) and Ka'imi Fairbairn (5-5 FG, 53 long, 2-2 XP) were the top scorers for Warm Bodies in the loss. This marks the second time this season Redlegs have taken down Warm Bodies, after winning 165.9-132.65 in their last matchup. Redlegs improve to 9-6 for the season, while Warm Bodies fall to 9-6.

Coach Talk

Redlegs
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We made that a point of emphasis by doubling up Warm Bodies at running back this past week (65.75 points to 32.4).
Warm Bodies
Wait, our starting QB tossed two interceptions and literally no touchdowns? It might be good to go back and review the game tape. Did Jared Goff appear flustered back there in the pocket, or were the Eagles just that great against the pass? What do you think, Warm Bodies, do we continue to start him with confidence?
