Mananas come up short of predictions, lose to Endzone Dance in 112.12-80.26 rout

There's no easy way to put it, Mananas dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as Endzone Dance cruised to a 112.12-80.26 victory. Mananas got out to a 15.28-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all Endzone Dance after that. They were led by Austin Ekeler (58 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 96 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Kirk Cousins (98 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD). The New York Jets defense (25 points) and Michael Thomas (14.3) did everything they could for Mananas in defeat. Endzone Dance (1-0) will look to get another W against Blue Skywalker, while Mananas (0-1) try to right the ship against Redzone 2 Da Endzone.

Coach Talk

Endzone Dance
Kudos to you, Endzone Dance. Nice job assembling a starting crew that recorded over 112 points in Week 1. We should keep this momentum going as we move on to what's sure to be an extremely tough matchup in Week 2.
Mananas
Three wide receivers, two running backs, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The six offensive skill starters on Mananas collectively gained a healthy 412 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players could find his way to the end zone in Week 1.
