Cavemen come up short of predictions, lose to The Dog House in 122.04-82.36 rout

There's no way around it, Cavemen underperformed, at least compared to projections, as The Dog House rolled to a 122.04-82.36 win. The Dog House earned a 21.14-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind Saquon Barkley (21.5 points) and Tyler Boyd (14.2) and never let it go. Aaron Rodgers (209 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and the Los Angeles Chargers defense (13 Pts Allowed, 339 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) were the leading scorers for Cavemen in the loss. The Dog House (2-0) will look to keep it rolling against Redzone 2 Da Endzone, while Cavemen (0-2) take on Endzone Dance in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

The Dog House
Deploying a lineup that netted more than 122 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum as we move on to our next challenge in Week 3.
Cavemen
Hey, it's possible that Cavemen may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 16 total targets in Week 2, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
