Firedawgs fall to DESERTDOGS, 127.50-79.36

There's no way around it, Firedawgs dropped the ball, at least based on projections, as DESERTDOGS earned a 127.50-79.36 win. DESERTDOGS leapt out to a 42-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind impressive efforts from Robby Anderson (28 points) and Calvin Ridley (5 Rec, 76 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and never looked back. Tyler Boyd (13.2 points) and Tom Brady (12.76) were the leaders for Firedawgs in the loss. This marks the first time this season DESERTDOGS have knocked off Firedawgs, after falling 142.06-115.12 in their last matchup. DESERTDOGS will look to keep the streak alive in next week's semifinal round, while Firedawgs attempt to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

DESERTDOGS
Good work deploying a starting crew that won by more than 48 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
Firedawgs
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 14. With just 19 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
