Flyboyz come up short of predictions, find way to defeat The Raider Nation in 136.66-90.30 rout

Both teams were unable to rise to the occasion, but Flyboyz did enough to take down The Raider Nation.

Flyboyz got out to a 16.50-point lead on Thursday behind Greg Olsen (15.5 points) and Devin White (1) and never let it go. Aaron Jones (116 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 34 Rec Yds) and Saquon Barkley (107 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 28 Rec Yds) did their part for The Raider Nation in defeat. Flyboyz (1-1) will look to add to their success against JAAKassmic's Team, while The Raider Nation (1-1) will try to get some positive momentum against Vikings To The S.B..

Coach Talk

Flyboyz
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Flyboyz. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (DeSean Jackson), while still earning a W. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
The Raider Nation
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 13 targets in Week 2. With just six total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
