Tall City Hawgs top David's Team for fourth straight win, 120-79

Tall City Hawgs extended their win streak to four games with a hard-fought victory over David's Team, securing a 120-79 win. Tall City Hawgs leapt out to a 24-point lead on Thursday behind stellar showings from the Chicago Bears defense (16 Pts Allowed, 333 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) and Theo Riddick (5) and never looked back. JuJu Smith-Schuster (13 Rec, 189 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Mike Evans (6 Rec, 116 Rec Yds) did their part for David's Team in the loss. This marks the first time this season Tall City Hawgs have gotten the best of David's Team, after falling 119-103 in their last matchup. Tall City Hawgs (4-8) will look to build on their success against HeadKnockers, while David's Team (6-5-1) will attempt to get some positive momentum against ROUGHRIDERS.

Coach Talk

Tall City Hawgs
Football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to a sound display by Cam Newton, we doubled up David's Team at the quarterback position this past week (27 points to 12). Newton went 25-for-30 for 256 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 30-27 loss to the Seahawks.
David's Team
With literally no passes thrown their way this past week the starting running backs for David's Team obviously should investigate why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
