Naked Bootlegs come up short of expectations, succumb to MONAT, 205.85-187.60

There's no sugarcoating it, Naked Bootlegs underdelivered, at least according to projections, as MONAT rallied to earn a 205.85-187.60 win. MONAT trailed 187.60-165.35 heading into Monday night, but the unit charged back behind Kirk Cousins (292 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and the Chicago Bears defense (19 Pts Allowed, 385 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers). Ben Roethlisberger (333 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and Keelan Cole (5 Rec, 47 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the charge for Naked Bootlegs in defeat. This marks the second time this season MONAT have knocked off Naked Bootlegs, after winning 242.2-161.85 in their last matchup. MONAT (5-5) will look to maintain their winning ways against The Overkiller's, while Naked Bootlegs (5-5) take on Night Hawk in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

MONAT
Deploying a lineup that won by over 18 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do. Let's take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Naked Bootlegs, and continue pushing forward to the Motor City Football league title.
Naked Bootlegs
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 35 targets in Week 10. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they reeled in only 21 balls.
