Blue Falcons defy expectations, knock off The Xtreme in 152.65-112.70 rout

Blue Falcons exceeded expectations, cruising to a 152.65-112.70 win over The Xtreme, who fell short of projections. The Xtreme pulled out to a 0.60-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Blue Falcons after that. They were led by James Conner, who racked up 125 yards from scrimmage and caught a touchdown pass for 26.5 points, and the New England Patriots defense, who allowed only 10 points, surrendered 375 yards, and intercepted 4 passes (25 points). Russell Wilson (18.7 points) and Tyrell Williams (12.6) carried the flag for The Xtreme in the loss. Blue Falcons (2-2) will look to keep it rolling against Boomtown Brawlers, while The Xtreme (1-3) will match up against Havoc in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

Blue Falcons
Wow, Blue Falcons, do you consult for SpaceX or something? In addition to a nearly 40-point victory, you also launched yourself a whopping five spots to fifth place in the league standings!
The Xtreme
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 36 times in Week 4. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group tallied only 20 catches.
