Warm Bodies succumb to Doughboys in 142.15-93.80 rout

There's no easy way to put it, Warm Bodies underperformed, at least based on projections, as Doughboys cruised to a 142.15-93.80 win. Warm Bodies took a 10.00-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Doughboys after that. They were led by Tom Brady (36.2 points) and Julian Edelman (23.95). Ezekiel Elliott (31.2 points) and Alshon Jeffery (17) did everything they could for Warm Bodies in defeat. This marks the second time this season Doughboys have gotten the best of Warm Bodies, after winning 176.05-125.95 in their last matchup. Doughboys will look to keep the streak alive in next week's semifinal round, while Warm Bodies attempt to rebound and lock up 5th Place.

Coach Talk

Doughboys
Listen Doughboys, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 140.49 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 142.15 we needed to win this past week!
Warm Bodies
Your starting QB threw four interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape: Was Jared Goff really that out-of-sync with the receivers, or were the Bears just that strong against the pass? This is the sort of decision you'll need to make... Warm Bodies, as you manage your lineup for Week 15 and beyond!
