Cracklings fall short of expectations, succumb to Brown Stains in 143.32-85.94 rout

Cracklings failed to bring their A game, as Brown Stains cruised to a 143.32-85.94 victory. Brown Stains got out to a 20.44-point lead on Thursday behind Patrick Mahomes (26.44 points) and never let go of it. Drew Lock (216 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) and Aaron Jones (66 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 10 Rec Yds) did their part for Cracklings in the loss. Brown Stains (1-0) will look to sustain their momentum against JABarcher, while Cracklings (0-1) match up against Stalin Colinet in an effort to get some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

Brown Stains
Well done, Brown Stains. Nice work fielding a lineup that blew the opposition out by over 57 points in Week 1. We should keep this momentum going as we head into what ought to be a winnable matchup in Week 2.
Cracklings
Unless Cracklings wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 35 times in Week 1. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group notched just 20 receptions.
