Cavemen beat predictions, defeat The Conglomerate in 116.04-95.98 rout

Cavemen rose to the occasion, rolling to a 116.04-95.98 win over The Conglomerate, who fell short of projections. Cavemen earned an 11.00-point lead on Thursday behind Ka'imi Fairbairn (8 points) and Duke Johnson (3) and never let go of it. Allen Robinson II (6 Rec, 131 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and the Detroit Lions defense (19 Pts Allowed, 230 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) led the way for The Conglomerate in the loss. This marks the first time this season Cavemen have knocked off The Conglomerate, after falling 102.62-100.62 in their last matchup. Cavemen (7-5) will look to sustain their winning ways against The Blue Wave 🌊, while The Conglomerate (9-3) take on Spokane Sith in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

Cavemen
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid showing from Drew Brees, we doubled up The Conglomerate at the quarterback position this past week (30.44 points to 14.58). Brees went 30-for-39 for 311 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a three-point triumph over the Panthers.
The Conglomerate
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 21 times in Week 12. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they tallied only 12 receptions.
