Golden Grahams defy predictions, defeat Da Renagades in 128.64-59.00 rout

Golden Grahams brought their A game and outperformed their projected point total, cruising to a 128.64-59.00 win over Da Renagades, who fell short of projections. It didn't take long to learn who would have the advantage in this matchup, as Golden Grahams leapt out to a 32.20-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding showings from Ezekiel Elliott and Michael Gallup. Elliott racked up 93 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 21.3 points, while Gallup caught 6 passes for 109 yards (10.9 points). The Green Bay Packers defense (22 points) and Aaron Rodgers (13.4) were the leaders for Da Renagades in defeat. This marks the second time this season Golden Grahams have knocked off Da Renagades, after winning 140.92-93.16 in their last matchup. Golden Grahams will look to keep the streak alive in next week's semifinals, while Da Renagades attempt to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

Golden Grahams
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we dominate Da Renagades at WR (27.4 points to 10.6), we also tripled them at QB (45.74 points to 13.4).
Da Renagades
Hey, Da Renagades, what did your receivers do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating just eight targets combined in Week 14, our three wide receivers clearly need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
