Red Alice defeat Xheryk, 94.49-81.62

Despite similar records, Xheryk held a big season point advantage over Red Alice coming into this one (647-508). But the trend wouldn't continue this week with Red Alice earning a 94.49-81.62 win. Red Alice jumped out to a 60.53-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 44.7 points from Julio Jones (8 Rec, 137 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and the Pittsburgh Steelers defense (7 Pts Allowed, 200 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) and never looked back. Ronald Jones II (21.33 points) and Tom Brady (15.32) led the charge for Xheryk in the loss.

Coach Talk

Red Alice
Yo, Red Alice, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this performance. In addition to a nearly 13-point victory, you also jumped up two places in the league standings!
Xheryk
Unless Xheryk wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" is not a valid excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 22 targets in Week 6. With just 13 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
