TeamBrickLesnar lose to g-men in 176.00-71.72 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, TeamBrickLesnar didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as g-men cruised to a 176.00-71.72 victory. TeamBrickLesnar pulled out to a 5.00-point lead on Thursday, but it was all g-men after that. They were led by Jared Goff, who passed for 321 yards and 2 touchdowns for 44.24 points, and Deshaun Watson, who passed for 264 yards and 2 touchdowns (31.06 points). DK Metcalf (4 Rec, 110 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Tyler Boyd (10 Rec, 125 Rec Yds) did their part for TeamBrickLesnar in the loss. g-men (1-2) will look to sustain their winning ways against BeastMode Training, while TeamBrickLesnar (2-1) meet Manager-less Team in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

g-men
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to great performances by Derrick Henry and David Johnson, our team made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly outscored TeamBrickLesnar at running back (35.6 points to 5.7). Henry had 130 total yards and two TDs, while Johnson logged 46 yards.
TeamBrickLesnar
TeamBrickLesnar may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 28 times in Week 3. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down just 17 catches.
