Dingus exceeded expectations, rolling to a 170-125 win over Gronkie Kong🦧, who fell short of projections. There wasn't much drama in this one, as Dingus grabbed a 60-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 80 points from Dak Prescott (450 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 18 Rush Yds, 3 Rush TDs) and Calvin Ridley (7 Rec, 109 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Aaron Jones (52 points) and John Brown (19) carried the flag for Gronkie Kong🦧 in defeat. Dingus (1-1) will look to rack up another win against The Cereal Killers, while Gronkie Kong🦧 (0-2) will face off against OLR in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Dingus
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Fueled by an awesome performance from Dak Prescott, we almost tripled Gronkie Kong🦧 at the quarterback position this past week (48 points to 17). Prescott went 34-for-47 for 450 yards and one TD in a one-point win over the Falcons.
Gronkie Kong🦧
Unless Gronkie Kong🦧 wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 23 times in Week 2. With only 14 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
