Sturgeon Bulldogs lose to Throwball Champ in 176.66-153.71 rout

There's no easy way to put it, Sturgeon Bulldogs underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Throwball Champ rolled to a 176.66-153.71 victory. Sturgeon Bulldogs nabbed a 9.88-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Throwball Champ after that. They were led by Aaron Rodgers, who passed for 243 yards and 4 touchdowns and ran for 24 yards for 50.62 points, and Ezekiel Elliott, who racked up 137 yards from scrimmage (26.7 points). Matt Ryan (53.08 points) and Derrick Henry (36.6) carried the flag for Sturgeon Bulldogs in defeat. Throwball Champ (10-3) will look to keep it rolling in the playoffs, while Sturgeon Bulldogs (10-3) will attempt to bounce back and make a run of their own in the postseason.

Coach Talk

Throwball Champ
Assembling a lineup that produced 176.66 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Sturgeon Bulldogs, and continue the march towards the Shane Falco Invitational league title.
Sturgeon Bulldogs
"Not getting enough opportunities" won't be a reasonable excuse this week for Sturgeon Bulldogs. As a group, our three wide receivers collectively received a hearty 21 targets in Week 13. With just nine total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
