A-A-Ron beat projections, defeat I'm back in 131.34-83.20 rout

A-A-Ron rose to the occasion and outperformed their projected point total, cruising to a 131.34-83.20 victory over I'm back, who fell short of projections. I'm back leapt out to a 19.00-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding performances from the San Francisco 49ers defense (15 points) and Jared Cook (4). But it was all A-A-Ron after that. They were led by Drew Brees (31.44 points) and DeAndre Hopkins (26.5). A-A-Ron (5-4) will look to add to their success against A-League Snipers, while I'm back (3-6) will try to get back in the win column against BlOrB.

Coach Talk

A-A-Ron
Putting together a lineup that won by over 48 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should maintain this momentum as we step into our next challenge in Week 10.
I'm back
Unless I'm back wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" isn't really a viable excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 21 targets in Week 9. With only 12 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
