Night Hawk fall short of projections, succumb to MONAT, 236.10-189.45

There's no way around it, Night Hawk dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as MONAT emerged victorious with a 236.10-189.45 win. MONAT jumped out to a 62.80-point lead on Thursday behind stellar showings from the Washington Football Team defense (24 points) and the Houston Texans defense (23) and never looked back. DK Metcalf (10 Rec, 177 Rec Yds) and Ryan Fitzpatrick (257 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 10 Rush Yds) did everything they could for Night Hawk in the loss. This marks the first time this season MONAT have knocked off Night Hawk, after falling 233.8-188.7 in their last matchup. MONAT (6-6) will look to sustain their winning ways against Dirty 54, while Night Hawk (6-6) match up against PIERMONSTERS in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

MONAT
Yo, MONAT, you put the rest of the league on notice with this performance. Not only did you win by 46.65 points, you also jumped up two spots in the league standings... squarely into the thick of the playoff hunt
Night Hawk
Wait, our quarterback threw one interception and not a single touchdown? It might be good to go back and review the game tape. Was Taysom Hill actually that out-of-sync with his receiving crew, or was the Broncos secondary just that good against the pass? This is the sort of decision you'll need to make, Night Hawk, as you deploy your lineup for Week 13 and beyond!
