Slap The Chef lose to REAPERS in 102.22-78.38 rout

There's no way around it, Slap The Chef underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as REAPERS rolled to a 102.22-78.38 victory. It didn't take long to figure out who would have the advantage in this one, as REAPERS jumped out to a 78.92-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 49.2 points from Miles Sanders (122 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 50 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and the New England Patriots defense (13 Pts Allowed, 315 Yds Allowed, 5 Turnovers). Ezekiel Elliott (117 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 43 Rec Yds) and Baker Mayfield (247 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 11 Rush Yds) were the leaders for Slap The Chef in the loss. This marks the first time this season REAPERS have gotten the best of Slap The Chef, after falling 82.02-71.98 in their last matchup. REAPERS will look to keep it rolling in next week's semifinals, while Slap The Chef attempt to bounce back and lock up 5th Place.

Coach Talk

REAPERS
Nice job, REAPERS. Props on fielding a lineup that blew the opposition out by nearly 24 points this past week.
Slap The Chef
Yo, Slap The Chef, what did your receivers do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating just seven targets combined in Week 15, our three wide receivers clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
