Blackfoot rolled to a 125.36-101.00 win to hand Coolrunnings their third consecutive loss. Blackfoot pulled out to a 15.11-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind Darren Fells (16 points) and Travis Fulgham (15) and never looked back. A.J. Brown (5 Rec, 56 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and the New York Giants defense (19 Pts Allowed, 308 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) carried the flag for Coolrunnings in the loss. Blackfoot (3-3) will look to maintain their momentum against Old school, while Coolrunnings (1-5) attempt to get back in the win column against Gotham Giants.

Coach Talk

Blackfoot
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Coolrunnings at the wide receiver position (52.75 points to 26.25).
Coolrunnings
"Not seeing many chances" can't be a viable excuse this week for Coolrunnings. As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR, two TE) collectively got a hearty 32 targets in Week 6. With just 17 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
