Cool Brees beat predictions but fall to Adams Family, 128.02-120.00

Cool Brees beat expectations, but it wasn't enough to swing the result as Adams Family secured a 128.02-120.00 victory. Cool Brees earned a 39.9-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding showings from Travis Kelce (23.6 points) and Kirk Cousins (17.1). But Adams Family held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Russell Wilson (206 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and Davante Adams (7 Rec, 115 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). This marks the first time this season Adams Family have gotten the best of Cool Brees, after falling 131.18-97.7 in their last matchup. Adams Family will look to not lose that winning feeling in the semifinal round next week, while Cool Brees attempt to rebound and lock up 5th Place.
