There's no sugarcoating it, Ram's Den didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Big Blue rolled to a 215.97-130.63 win. This matchup was over almost as soon as it started, as Big Blue nabbed a 103.97-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 69.77 points from Lamar Jackson (272 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 120 Rush Yds) and Jimmy Garoppolo (297 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs). Jared Goff (283 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) and Todd Gurley II (63 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) were the leading scorers for Ram's Den in defeat.

Coach Talk

Big Blue
The key to success in football is spotting the mismatches. Our team took that to heart this past week and literally doubled up Ram's Den at the quarterback position (69.77 points to 28.53).
Ram's Den
Listen up, Ram's Den! Listen, I've been in this industry long enough to know that every once in a while, free points just seem to magically appear out of nowhere. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, hmmm, okay; maybe asking for an additional 86 points is a bit on the excessive side.
