Despite top scorer Watson, Meatmonger fall to Butt Ruckers, 142.18-133.24

Deshaun Watson accumulated 29.42 points for Meatmonger, the best total in the matchup and sixth-highest in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple Butt Ruckers, who earned a 142.18-133.24 win. Butt Ruckers grabbed an early 2.88-point lead on Thursday. Meatmonger bounced back to take the lead late afternoon Sunday, powered by Clyde Edwards-Helaire (8.3 points) and Tyrann Mathieu (2). Not to be deterred, Butt Ruckers got it going later that night, as Colt McCoy (9.14 points) and Darius Slayton (7.4) put them back in the lead once and for all. This marks the first time this season Butt Ruckers have gotten the best of Meatmonger, after falling 152.62-143.5 in their last matchup.

Coach Talk

Butt Ruckers
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Butt Ruckers. It takes guts to start a player with negative points (T.J. Hockenson) while still earning the win.
Meatmonger
Talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting backfield for Meatmonger collectively recorded just a pair of catches on five targets this past week.
