OJ Simpson top 12North for third straight win in 129.54-127.22 battle

OJ Simpson extended their win streak to three games with a narrow victory over 12North, narrowly earning a 129.54-127.22 win. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as OJ Simpson led 129.54-102.92 heading into Monday night. 12North came roaring back behind Nick Chubb (82 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 21 Rec Yds). OJ Simpson were led by Jonathan Taylor, who racked up 165 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 30.5 points, and Russell Wilson, who passed for 206 yards and 4 touchdowns (30.14 points). This marks the first time this season OJ Simpson have gotten the best of 12North, after falling 125.68-106.72 in their last matchup. OJ Simpson will look to not lose that winning feeling in the semifinal round next week, while 12North seek to bounce back and lock up 5th Place.

Coach Talk

OJ Simpson
We can't overstate just how important close victories like this can be for locker room chemistry. Persevering through trials and tribulations, and triumphing in the face of adversity... expect OJ Simpson to carry some positive momentum into Week 15.
12North
With four catches on just five targets this past week, the starting running backs for 12North clearly should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
