G7 defeat Royal Pita in 112.36-80.00 rout

G7 exceeded their projected point total, rolling to a 112.36-80.00 win over Royal Pita, who fell short of projections. Royal Pita took a 6.60-point lead on Thursday, but it was all G7 after that. They were led by Drew Brees, who passed for 349 yards and 5 touchdowns for 50.06 points, and Devonta Freeman, who ran for 84 yards and a touchdown (15.4 points). Michael Thomas (11 Rec, 134 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Aaron Rodgers (195 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 16 Rush Yds) led the charge for Royal Pita in the loss. This marks the first time this season G7 have knocked off Royal Pita, after falling 119.58-97.3 in their last matchup.

Coach Talk

G7
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by a stellar display by Drew Brees, we thoroughly outscored Royal Pita at the quarterback position this past week (50.06 points to 13.4). Brees torched the 49ers defense to the tune of 349 yards and five passing touchdowns.
Royal Pita
Producing one reception on only two measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Royal Pita should remind their quarterbacks to check down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
