VegasPackFan's Team come up short of expectations, lose to Rut's Renegades in 136.18-84.02 rout

There's no easy way to say it, VegasPackFan's Team underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Rut's Renegades cruised to a 136.18-84.02 victory. VegasPackFan's Team took a 1.00-point lead on Thursday, but Rut's Renegades held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Dalvin Cook, who racked up 163 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 29.3 points, and Davante Adams, who caught 8 passes for 119 yards (21.9 points). Ka'imi Fairbairn (5-5 FG, 53 long, 2-2 XP) and David Johnson (33 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 68 Rec Yds) led the charge for VegasPackFan's Team in the loss. Rut's Renegades will look to clinch the league title next week, while VegasPackFan's Team seek to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Rut's Renegades
Hey, the key to football is uncovering the mismatches, right? Fueled by stellar showings by Davante Adams and Robert Woods, our team really took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly dominated VegasPackFan's Team at wide receiver (38.2 points to 6.4). Adams had 119 receiving yards while Woods chipped in with 74 yards.
VegasPackFan's Team
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 13 times in Week 15. With just five total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
