Offensively challenged Vultures top Mutinous Apes in 128.30-124.75 battle

Vultures narrowly earned a 128.30-124.75 win over Mutinous Apes despite ranking only 11th in the league in points scored for the week. Mutinous Apes made a run at it on Monday night, but it wasn't to be.

Patrick Mahomes (352 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and Julio Jones (10 Rec, 143 Rec Yds) led the way for Vultures in the victory.

Coach Talk

Vultures
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to a stellar outing from Patrick Mahomes, we nearly tripled Mutinous Apes at the quarterback position this past week (38.5 points to 13.65). Mahomes went 23-for-36 for 352 yards, four TDs, and two INTs in a 43-40 loss to the Patriots.
Mutinous Apes
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, two TE) collectively got a grand total of 43 targets in Week 6. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded just 21 receptions.
