BLACK RAIDERS beat Chiefs for third straight win in 134-132 battle

BLACK RAIDERS extended their win streak to three games with a narrow victory over Chiefs, squeaking by for a 134-132 win. Chiefs had a chance to come from behind late afternoon on Sunday, but it wasn't to be. BLACK RAIDERS led 92-129 after the early action and held on for the win despite 3 points from Jimmy Graham on Sunday afternoon for Chiefs. DK Metcalf (12 Rec, 161 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Matt Ryan (281 Pass Yds, 27 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) did the heavy lifting for BLACK RAIDERS in the victory. This marks the second time this season BLACK RAIDERS have taken down Chiefs, after winning 169-75 in their last matchup. BLACK RAIDERS (4-4) will look to keep it rolling against Pharaohs, while Chiefs (1-7) will face off against Jawbreakers in an effort to generate some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

BLACK RAIDERS
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Chiefs at the wide receiver position (59 points to 12).
Chiefs
Welp, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 21 targets in Week 8. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they managed just eight receptions.
