Gridiron Gang fall short of projections, lose to Cleveland Steamers in 118.05-71.99 rout

Gridiron Gang were unable to bring their A game, as Cleveland Steamers rolled to a 118.05-71.99 victory. It didn't take long to learn who would be the frontrunner in this one, as Cleveland Steamers grabbed a 77.6-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 50.9 points from Teddy Bridgewater (310 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 19 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Travis Kelce (10 Rec, 159 Rec Yds). Justin Herbert (26.34 points) and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (11.15) led the charge for Gridiron Gang in defeat. Cleveland Steamers (7-2) will look to rack up another W against Whatdeysay, while Gridiron Gang (4-5) will try to get back in the win column against Uptown Soldiers.

Coach Talk

Cleveland Steamers
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Gridiron Gang at the wide receiver position (23.65 points to 11.65).
Gridiron Gang
Gridiron Gang will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 16 times in Week 9. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group reeled in just 10 receptions.
