Back-and-forth battle ends with Honey Badger coming back to top The Deflator in 77.30-77.06 battle

Well, that was exhilarating! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, Honey Badger earned a come-from-behind victory over The Deflator, staging a comeback to earn a 77.30-77.06 win. Honey Badger trailed 66.56-65.70 heading into Sunday night, but the team roared back behind Russell Wilson (11.6 points). Amari Cooper (6 Rec, 83 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Tom Brady (169 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 20 Rush Yds) did their part for The Deflator in the loss. This marks the first time this season Honey Badger have taken down The Deflator, after falling 146.85-128.38 in their last matchup. Honey Badger will look to not lose that winning feeling in next week's semifinal round, while The Deflator attempt to rebound and lock up a top-6 finish.

Coach Talk

Honey Badger
We do admire the confidence this past week, Honey Badger. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (Dane Cruikshank and Stephen Gostkowski), while still earning the W... that's borderline arrogant.
The Deflator
We should use this last week as a chance to learn and regroup for next year, The Deflator. Get familiar with what the Yahoo! Fantasy Experts are saying and deploy the strongest lineup possible next year.
