Philly Phresh find way to beat Spoon in 89.5-66.0 rout

Both teams underachieved compared to expectations, but Philly Phresh did enough to knock off Spoon. Predicted to win 100.2-88.6, Philly Phresh rolled to an 89.5-66.0 win over Spoon. There wasn't much drama in this one, as Philly Phresh nabbed a 30.5-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind stellar showings from DJ Chark Jr. and Alvin Kamara. Chark Jr. caught 8 passes for 95 yards and 2 touchdowns for 16 points, while Kamara racked up 119 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown (12 points). The Indianapolis Colts defense (11 Pts Allowed, 269 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers) and Russell Wilson (360 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) led the way for Spoon in the loss. Philly Phresh (2-2) will look to rack up another W against Shark bait, while Spoon (3-1) will face Drones in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Philly Phresh
You know Philly Phresh, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 100 points through Week 3, our crew has definitely proven that it's even stronger than the 89.5 we needed for this past week's win!
Spoon
Unless Spoon wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not a viable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 16 targets in Week 4. With just eight total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
