Smooth Criminal fall short of expectations, succumb to Ram1's Genius Team in 238-136 rout

There's no easy way to put it, Smooth Criminal didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Ram1's Genius Team rolled to a 238-136 win. Smooth Criminal got out to a 2-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Ram1's Genius Team after that. They were led by Carson Wentz (228 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Jarvis Landry (54 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 57 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Drew Brees (64 points) and John Brown (14) led the charge for Smooth Criminal in defeat. Ram1's Genius Team will look to keep it rolling in the semifinals next week, while Smooth Criminal seek to bounce back and finish the season with a win.

Coach Talk

Ram1's Genius Team
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating Smooth Criminal at the wide receiver position (69 points to 19).
Smooth Criminal
Hey, Smooth Criminal, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? With just 10 total targets this past week, our three wide receivers clearly need to get the attention of their respective QBs this week in practice.
