Jiri's Team succumb to Trut Miners in 125.88-74.32 rout

There's no way around it, Jiri's Team didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Trut Miners cruised to a 125.88-74.32 victory. This one was over before it really even started, as Trut Miners jumped out to a 28.66-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 42.4 points from Dalvin Cook (181 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 18 Rec Yds) and Tyler Boyd (10 Rec, 125 Rec Yds). Tyreek Hill (25 Rush Yds, 77 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Matt Ryan (238 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) led the charge for Jiri's Team in the loss. Trut Miners (2-1) will look to notch another W against Slinks Mayhem, while Jiri's Team (1-2) will attempt to get back in the win column against MILLER'S KILLERS.

Coach Talk

Trut Miners
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. With stellar performances by Dalvin Cook and Jonathan Taylor, our team definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week.

Jiri's Team
You can take our word for it, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans whine a bit, and the local beat writers get a bit chippy with their incessant questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all! Keep pushing forward, Jiri's Team!
