The Dogs of War succumb to Dead Again in 148.2-99.3 rout

There's no way around it, The Dogs of War dropped the ball, at least based on projections, as Dead Again rolled to a 148.2-99.3 win. The Dogs of War pulled out to a 7.5-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Dead Again after that. They were led by Patrick Mahomes, who passed for 446 yards and 3 touchdowns for 40.3 points, and Ronald Jones II, who racked up 106 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown (22.6 points). Michael Gallup (17.6 points) and Larry Fitzgerald (15.1) led the way for The Dogs of War in the loss. Dead Again (6-4) will look to build on their success against AMMODOG, while The Dogs of War (5-5) take on Norman Nobodies in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Dead Again
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by a thrilling display by Patrick Mahomes, we nearly tripled The Dogs of War at the quarterback position this past week (40.3 points to 14.5). Mahomes was a bright spot in a close loss to the Titans, going 36-of-50 for 446 yards and three passing TDs.
The Dogs of War
Logging only five targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for The Dogs of War should remind their quarterbacks to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
