Despite top scorer the Buccaneers defense, Willie's Team fall to Prospects, 149.45-139.15

Willie's Team had the No. 1 scorer in the matchup with DEF the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense posting 41 points, the third-highest total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple Prospects, who came from behind to earn a 149.45-139.15 win. Prospects trailed 133.15-110.10 heading into Monday night, but the unit came storming back behind Drew Brees, who passed for 307 yards and 4 touchdowns for 39.35 points. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense (41 points) and Aaron Jones (17.1) carried the flag for Willie's Team in defeat.

Prospects will look to keep winning in the semifinals next week, while Willie's Team seek to rebound and lock up 5th Place.

Coach Talk

Prospects
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. Fueled by an awesome performance by Drew Brees, we thoroughly outplayed Willie's Team at the quarterback position this past week (39.35 points to 15.35). Brees torched the Colts defense to the tune of 307 yards and four passing touchdowns.
Willie's Team
Talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Willie's Team collectively recorded just one catch on four targets this past week.
