Wu-Tang overcome multiple busts, knock off Billsrback, 273-219

Billsrback leapt out to a 69-point lead on Saturday behind a combined 64 points from Matt Milano (12 Tackles) and Jameis Winston (335 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 16 Rush Yds).

Coach Talk

Wu-Tang
You know what, Wu-Tang, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Adam Thielen and Christian Kirk), while still getting the W... that's borderline cocky.
Billsrback
Yo, Billsrback, did your wideouts drop too many balls in practice or something? Seeing only 10 targets as a group this past week, our five wide receivers obviously need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
