CowSheep find way to knock off Hokus Pokus 89.52-66.76 despite coming up short of expectations

Both teams failed to bring their A game, but CowSheep did enough to knock off Hokus Pokus, earning an 89.52-66.76 win. Hokus Pokus nabbed a 14.20-point lead on Thursday behind stellar efforts from DJ Moore, who caught 9 passes for 89 yards for 8.9 points, and Christian McCaffrey, who racked up 53 yards from scrimmage (5.3 points). But CowSheep held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Patrick Mahomes (443 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and Kerryon Johnson (41 Rush Yds, 47 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). CowSheep (1-1) will look to rack up another win against david's Team, while Hokus Pokus (1-1) take on John Jay Hit Squad in an effort to develop some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

CowSheep
You know, this sport is all about finding the mismatches. Fueled by a solid performance by Patrick Mahomes, we almost tripled Hokus Pokus at the quarterback position this past week (40.62 points to 13.86). Mahomes went 30-for-44 for 443 yards and four TDs in a 28-10 win over the Raiders.
Hokus Pokus
Unless Hokus Pokus wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is not a valid excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 23 times in Week 2. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they recorded just 13 receptions.
