Drones fall short of projections, find way to beat Well Oiled Machine, 75-61

Both teams failed to rise to the occasion, but Drones did enough to beat Well Oiled Machine, emerging victorious with a 75-61 win. Well Oiled Machine grabbed a 14-point lead on Saturday behind outstanding showings from Chris Godwin (10 points) and Darren Waller (8). But Drones held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Michael Badgley, who made all 4 of his FG attempts for 14 points, and the Arizona Cardinals defense, who allowed 20 points, surrendered 398 yards, and forced a fumble (11 points). This marks the first time this season Drones have taken down Well Oiled Machine, after falling 127.5-78.5 in their last matchup. Drones will look to keep winning in the Championship next week, while Well Oiled Machine attempt to rebound and lock up 3rd Place.

Coach Talk

Drones
Listen, Drones, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to play a starter with zero points (Jason Pierre-Paul), while still getting the win.
Well Oiled Machine
With just zero catches on two measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Well Oiled Machine clearly should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more often.
