The Phantom Limbs fall to SPACEGOAT in 124.98-71.00 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, The Phantom Limbs underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as SPACEGOAT rolled to a 124.98-71.00 victory. SPACEGOAT grabbed a 4.00-point lead on Thursday behind Wil Lutz and never let go of it. Lamar Jackson (125 Pass Yds, 75 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and the Indianapolis Colts defense (6 Pts Allowed, 211 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers) led the charge for The Phantom Limbs in the loss. This marks the first time this season SPACEGOAT have gotten the best of The Phantom Limbs, after falling 96.68-84.36 in their last matchup. SPACEGOAT (8-5) will look to keep it rolling in the playoffs. The Phantom Limbs will be home for the playoffs, finishing the season at 6-7.

Coach Talk

SPACEGOAT
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters logged 125 more total yards than the RBs on The Phantom Limbs (398 yards from scrimmage to 273), as we ultimately almost tripled them at the position (75.8 points to 27.3).
The Phantom Limbs
All of the cake, none of the icing: The six offensive skill starters (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) on The Phantom Limbs collectively gained a healthy 375 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters was able to score a touchdown in Week 13.
