socioPathogens come up short of projections, find way to knock off 4-Ace's in 150.57-121.43 rout

Both teams were unable to bring their A game, but socioPathogens did enough to get the best of 4-Ace's. Predicted to lose 171.08-169.80, socioPathogens cruised to a 150.57-121.43 win over 4-Ace's. 4-Ace's earned a 15.22-point lead on Thursday, but it was all socioPathogens after that. They were led by Ezekiel Elliott, who ran for 111 yards and a touchdown for 30.35 points, and Matt Breida, who racked up 132 yards from scrimmage (22.52 points). Austin Ekeler (28.68 points) and Adam Thielen (13.75) did their part for 4-Ace's in the loss. socioPathogens (1-1) will look to sustain their momentum against Barter's Bulls, while 4-Ace's (0-2) will attempt to get some positive momentum against Nefarious Pilchers.

Coach Talk

socioPathogens
Listen, socioPathogens, we do certainly admire the confidence. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Nick Bosa), while still getting a W. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
4-Ace's
Don't beat yourself up too badly, 4-Ace's! Trust us, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn testy with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
