Christians Edge fall to The People’s Champ in 135.20-108.42 rout

Christians Edge failed to rise to the occasion, as The People’s Champ rolled to a 135.20-108.42 victory. Christians Edge grabbed a 9.40-point lead on Thursday, but it was all The People’s Champ after that. They were led by Derrick Henry, who racked up 130 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 29 points, and the Indianapolis Colts defense, who allowed only 7 points, surrendered 260 yards, and intercepted 3 passes (27 points). Aaron Rodgers (24.52 points) and Todd Gurley II (14.7) carried the flag for Christians Edge in defeat. The People’s Champ (2-1) will look to add to their success against Iceman king Carsons, while Christians Edge (2-1) match up against Ravishing Rick Rude in an effort to generate some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

The People’s Champ
Wow, The People’s Champ, have you been practicing any gymnastics recently? Not only did you win by 26.78 points, you also vaulted over five other teams to first place in the league standings!
Christians Edge
Trust me on this one (since I'm a coach who's lived life on the hot seat)... If this "fantasy GM" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that scrappy Graduate Assistant job available at the community college down the street!
