GREEN LEGION fall short of expectations, lose to KayCee Chiefs, 432.17-357.16

There's no easy way to put it, GREEN LEGION underdelivered, at least based on projections, as KayCee Chiefs came out on top with a 432.17-357.16 victory. GREEN LEGION jumped out to a 97.88-point lead on Thursday behind 93.38 points from Matt Ryan (312 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 21 Rush Yds) and Jason Witten (6 Rec, 42 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). But KayCee Chiefs held the lead the rest of the way, powered by James White, who racked up 177 yards from scrimmage and caught 2 touchdown passes for 87.77 points, and Kirk Cousins, who passed for 276 yards and 2 touchdowns (50.04 points). This marks the second time this season KayCee Chiefs have taken down GREEN LEGION, after winning 493.9-428.87 in their last matchup. KayCee Chiefs ends the season on a high note, but they'll miss the postseason with a record of 6-7. GREEN LEGION (9-4) will attempt to bounce back from this loss in the playoffs.

Coach Talk

KayCee Chiefs
Here's a list of scenarios where it's borderline excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? It's quite possible that Brett Maher just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
GREEN LEGION
Wait, our starting QB tossed two interceptions and just a single touchdown? I guess we're presented with a couple of options here: Was Derek Carr really that off-rhythm with his receivers, or were the Chiefs just that strong against the pass? This judgment is yours to make... GREEN LEGION, as you set your lineup in Week 14 and beyond!
