NYC defeat The Punisher in 78-55 rout

NYC exceeded expectations, cruising to a 78-55 victory over The Punisher, who fell short of projections. The Punisher jumped out to a 17-point lead on Thursday behind a stellar effort from Mark Ingram II. But it was all NYC after that. They were led by Ryan Tannehill (279 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 10 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Tyreek Hill (5 Rec, 67 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). This marks the second time this season NYC have taken down The Punisher, after winning 84-55 in their last matchup. NYC will look to keep the streak alive in the Championship next week, while The Punisher seek to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

NYC
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a sound display from Ryan Tannehill, we quadrupled The Punisher at the quarterback position this past week (27 points to 6). Tannehill went 22-for-36 for 279 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 24-21 loss to the Texans.
The Punisher
The problem this week is pretty easy to spot, The Punisher. Going with Hayden Hurst in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all assume it won't happen again and move on.
