The Prodigal Son fall short of expectations, lose to Marino Rules, 93.35-81.95

The Prodigal Son were unable to bring their A game, as Marino Rules secured a 93.35-81.95 win. The Prodigal Son earned a 41.65-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind impressive efforts from Philip Rivers (13.85 points) and the Houston Texans defense (11.5). But Marino Rules held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Patrick Mahomes (443 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and the Kansas City Chiefs defense (10 Pts Allowed, 307 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers). Marino Rules (1-1) will look to keep it rolling against St.Vincent, while The Prodigal Son (1-1) attempt to right the ship against Mini Vikes.

Coach Talk

Marino Rules
You know, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. Fueled by a stellar outing by Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up The Prodigal Son at the quarterback position this past week (34.15 points to 13.85). Mahomes went 30-for-44 for 443 yards, four TDs, and no INTs in a 28-10 triumph over the Raiders.
The Prodigal Son
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 35 times in Week 2. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group recorded only 18 catches.
