Huss Monkeys come up short of projections, find way to beat Hades Star, 160.1-126.6

Both teams were unable to bring their A game, coming up short of projections, but Huss Monkeys did enough to take down Hades Star. Predicted to win 190.0-185.3, Huss Monkeys came out on top with a 160.1-126.6 win over Hades Star. Hades Star leapt out to a 61.3-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind stellar efforts from Kenny Golladay, who caught 8 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown for 25.7 points, and Ezekiel Elliott, who ran for 111 yards and a touchdown (20 points). But Huss Monkeys held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Matt Ryan, who passed for 320 yards and 3 touchdowns for 70.3 points, and the Cleveland Browns defense, who allowed only 3 points, surrendered 262 yards, and forced a fumble (23 points). Huss Monkeys (2-0) will look to keep it rolling against Who Dat, while Hades Star (0-2) attempt to right the ship against L-Diggity.

Coach Talk

Huss Monkeys
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a sound outing from Matt Ryan, we thoroughly dominated Hades Star at the quarterback position this past week (70.3 points to 14.5). Ryan went 27-for-43 for 320 yards, three TDs, and three INTs in a 24-20 victory over the Eagles.
Hades Star
"Not getting enough opportunities" won't fly as an excuse this week for Hades Star. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a whopping 35 targets in Week 2. With just 21 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
