Greyhound Express extended their win streak to three games with an easy victory over Newbies Rule, cruising to a 271.20-158.94 win.

Coach Talk

Greyhound Express
Wow, Greyhound Express, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this shellacking. Not only did you win by more than 112 points, you also jumped up a staggering three places in the league standings... right into the thick of postseason contention
Newbies Rule
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (two WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 36 times in Week 6. With only 22 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
