Black Lives Matter come up short of predictions, lose to Slapnuts, 321-240

There's no sugarcoating it, Black Lives Matter didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Slapnuts emerged victorious with a 321-240 win. Black Lives Matter took a 2-point lead on Thursday, but Slapnuts held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Derrick Henry (74 points) and Mike Davis (36). Stefon Diggs (44 points) and Matthew Stafford (37) did everything they could for Black Lives Matter in the loss. This marks the second time this season Slapnuts have knocked off Black Lives Matter, after winning 321-264 in their last matchup. Slapnuts will look to keep winning in next week's semifinals, while Black Lives Matter attempt to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

Slapnuts
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield recorded 259 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Black Lives Matter (418 total yards to 159), and we ended up almost quadrupling them at the position (144 points to 37).
Black Lives Matter
You can take our word for it, Black Lives Matter... We've been in this business for a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little nit-picky with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all!
