Mumm-Ra
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any way sugarcoat it, Mumm-Ra; our QB was clearly outplayed this past week. Patrick Mahomes went 30-of-44 for 443 yards and four touchdowns for Marcus's Swell Team, and all Derek Carr could muster was a 23-for-38 day, with 198 yards and one passing TD (plus two ugly interceptions). We need to put some extra effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
