Spoon defeat Warriors to remain undefeated in 110-44 rout

Spoon won their third straight to open the season with an easy win over Warriors, cruising to a 110-44 victory. Warriors earned a 3-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all Spoon after that. They were led by the Indianapolis Colts defense (34 points) and Russell Wilson (20). DK Metcalf (9 points) and J.C. Jackson (9) did everything they could for Warriors in defeat. Spoon (3-0) will look to keep it rolling against Philly Phresh, while Warriors (0-3) will meet Well Oiled Machine in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Spoon
We do respect the confidence this past week, Spoon. It takes real moxie to roll out a starter with zero points (A.J. Brown), while still earning a W. Try those shenanigans next week against Philly Phresh and see what happens.
Warriors
Unless Warriors wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our two wide receivers were targeted a respectable 14 times in Week 3. With just six total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
