Ron's Eagles manage to defeat G7 in 84.50-62.76 rout despite falling short of projections

Both teams were unable to rise to the occasion, but Ron's Eagles did enough to beat G7, rolling to an 84.50-62.76 victory. G7 pulled out to a 4.96-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Ron's Eagles after that. They were led by Patrick Mahomes (21.5 points) and Dede Westbrook (14). Davante Adams (6 Rec, 64 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Drew Brees (184 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) carried the flag for G7 in the loss. This marks the first time this season Ron's Eagles have knocked off G7, after falling 117.66-113.72 in their last matchup. Ron's Eagles (8-5) will look to keep it rolling in the playoffs, while G7 (7-6) will attempt to bounce back and make a run of their own in the postseason.

Coach Talk

Ron's Eagles
Hey Ron's Eagles, the good news is that we won this matchup by an impressive 21.74 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 12 stood at 98.85. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
G7
Well, G7, Week 13's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Choosing to start Nick Folk and Julio Jones in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 84.5 points... we'll all just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again?
