Cleveland Fan got out to an early 14.3-point lead on Thursday. The Awesomeness came back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by Michael Thomas (21.4 points) and Robby Anderson (20). Not to be deterred, Cleveland Fan made a run later that night, as Robert Woods (18.7 points) and Cooper Kupp (10.5) put them back ahead for good. This marks the second time this season Cleveland Fan have gotten the best of The Awesomeness, after winning 103.12-101.88 in their last matchup.

Coach Talk

Cleveland Fan
Putting together a lineup that produced more than 107 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
The Awesomeness
The Awesomeness may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four wide receivers were targeted a hearty 33 times in Week 14. With only 19 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
