THE DAK KNIGHT RISES fall short of projections, lose to Underachievers in 170.71-67.41 rout

There's no easy way to say it, THE DAK KNIGHT RISES underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Underachievers rolled to a 170.71-67.41 victory. THE DAK KNIGHT RISES took a 14.12-point lead on Saturday behind Baker Mayfield, who passed for 188 yards and 2 touchdowns. But Underachievers held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Joe Mixon (33.75 points) and Josh Allen (22.01). This marks the first time this season Underachievers have gotten the best of THE DAK KNIGHT RISES, after falling 184.29-161.87 in their last matchup. Underachievers will look to not lose that winning feeling in the Championship next week, while THE DAK KNIGHT RISES attempt to bounce back and lock up 3rd Place.

Coach Talk

Underachievers
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs tallied 105 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of THE DAK KNIGHT RISES (194 total yards to 89), as we ultimately almost tripled them at the position (48.65 points to 16.9).
THE DAK KNIGHT RISES
Our quarterback threw one interception and no touchdowns? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape: Were the Colts actually that great against the pass, or was Dak Prescott just that off-rhythm with his receiving crew? You'll need to decide one way or the other... THE DAK KNIGHT RISES, as you manage your lineup in Week 16 and beyond!
