Pisgah Pythons had the premier scorer in the matchup with TE Zach Ertz posting 35.6 points, the sixth-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple Oilers, who narrowly earned a 206.80-205.70 victory. Pisgah Pythons made a run at it on Monday night, but it wasn't to be. Oilers led 206.80-170.10 after Sunday's action and held on for the win despite 35.6 points from Zach Ertz on Monday night for Pisgah Pythons. Oilers were led by Jameis Winston (456 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and Ryan Tannehill (391 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 19 Rush Yds). This marks the first time this season Oilers have beaten Pisgah Pythons, after falling 170.62-162.7 in their last matchup.

Coach Talk

Oilers
We're wondering if the GM of Oilers was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 1.1 points, Matt Prater (0-of-1 on the day) decided that going 1-for-1 on field goals would've made things just a bit too boring. Remember kids, every point matters!
Pisgah Pythons
Our starting QB tossed one interception and not a single touchdown? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Did Ryan Fitzpatrick seem shaky back there in the pocket, or were the Jets just that great defending the pass?
