STEEL CURTAIN lose to Cocktails and Dreams in 126.5-71.0 rout

There's no easy way to say it, STEEL CURTAIN didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Cocktails and Dreams rolled to a 126.5-71.0 win. There was very little drama in the matchup, as Cocktails and Dreams leapt out to a 41-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout efforts from Saquon Barkley (28 points) and Jameis Winston (22). Drew Brees (16 points) and Alvin Kamara (12.5) led the way for STEEL CURTAIN in defeat. Cocktails and Dreams will look to keep the streak alive in the semifinal round next week, while STEEL CURTAIN attempt to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

Cocktails and Dreams
This sport is all about creating mismatches. With solid performances by Saquon Barkley and Dalvin Cook, our squad made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly outscored STEEL CURTAIN at the running back position (43.5 points to 17). Barkley had 197 total yards and a TD, while Cook logged 83 yards.
STEEL CURTAIN
Only two field goals on four attempts? Sounds like Harrison Butker might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following this performance.
