Blazin Blitzers beat Hail Mary for sixth straight win in 195.5-134.0 rout

Blazin Blitzers extended their win streak to six games with an easy victory over Hail Mary, rolling to a 195.5-134.0 win. Blazin Blitzers pulled out to a 32.5-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind Matt Ryan (24 points) and Robby Anderson (23.5) and never relinquished it. Aaron Jones (134 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 58 Rec Yds) and Carson Wentz (325 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) carried the flag for Hail Mary in defeat. This marks the second time this season Blazin Blitzers have gotten the best of Hail Mary, after winning 150.5-123.5 in their last matchup. Blazin Blitzers will look to not lose that winning feeling in next week's semifinal round, while Hail Mary seek to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

Blazin Blitzers
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Hail Mary at the wide receiver position (85 points to 38.5).
Hail Mary
Yo, Hail Mary, did your pass-catchers drop too many balls in practice or something? Accumulating just 17 targets combined in Week 14, our starting receiver crew (four WR, one TE) clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
