GoldDiggers hand Ligers third consecutive loss in 116.95-50.37 rout

GoldDiggers cruised to a 116.95-50.37 win to hand Ligers their third straight loss.

Coach Talk

GoldDiggers
Assembling a lineup that accounted for almost 117 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Ligers
Hey, it's possible that Ligers might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 18 total targets in Week 14, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
