Rasia lose to DESERTDOGS in 135.94-86.94 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Rasia dropped the ball, at least according to projections, as DESERTDOGS cruised to a 135.94-86.94 win. Rasia took a 4.80-point lead on Thursday, but it was all DESERTDOGS after that. They were led by Drew Brees (311 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Zach Ertz (12 Rec, 91 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Allen Robinson II (28.1 points) and Raheem Mostert (13.7) were the leaders for Rasia in the loss. This marks the first time this season DESERTDOGS have taken down Rasia, after falling 147.26-111.4 in their last matchup. DESERTDOGS (6-6) will look to keep it rolling against creeping death, while Rasia (4-8) face off against Iced Dog in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

DESERTDOGS
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by a solid display by Drew Brees, we thoroughly outscored Rasia at the quarterback position this past week (28.44 points to 7.64). Brees went 30-for-39 for 311 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a three-point triumph over the Panthers.
Rasia
Matt Ryan tossed one interception and not a single touchdown? Thanksgiving may be upon us, but we're having a lot of trouble giving thanks for that sort of performance.
