Anthropomorphic Milk lose to Ground Game Keeper in 107.9-66.9 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Anthropomorphic Milk underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Ground Game Keeper rolled to a 107.9-66.9 win. Anthropomorphic Milk got out to a 10.9-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Ground Game Keeper after that. They were led by Michael Thomas, who caught 11 passes for 134 yards and a touchdown for 19.4 points, and Zach Pascal, who caught 5 passes for 74 yards and a touchdown (15.4 points). Lamar Jackson (20.8 points) and Harrison Butker (13) were the top scorers for Anthropomorphic Milk in defeat. This marks the first time this season Ground Game Keeper have knocked off Anthropomorphic Milk, after falling 91.34-71.54 in their last matchup. Ground Game Keeper will look to not lose that winning feeling in next week's semifinals, while Anthropomorphic Milk attempt to rebound and lock up 5th Place.

Coach Talk

Ground Game Keeper
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Anthropomorphic Milk at the wide receiver position (46.9 points to 23.3).
Anthropomorphic Milk
Trust me (since I'm a coach who's constantly been on the hot seat)... If this "fantasy GM" thing doesn't work out, you can take comfort in the fact that there's always that gritty Graduate Assistant job available at the community college down the street!
