Neil039 fall short of projections, lose to CardinalFan in 91.19-63.84 rout

Neil039 were unable to bring their A game, falling short of their projected point total, as CardinalFan rolled to a 91.19-63.84 win. Neil039 grabbed an 8.27-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all CardinalFan after that. They were led by Kyler Murray (188 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 74 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and George Kittle (7 Rec, 109 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Patrick Mahomes (225 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 36 Rush Yds) and Justin Tucker (3-3 FG, 55 long, 3-3 XP) led the charge for Neil039 in the loss. CardinalFan (4-2) will look to keep it rolling against Will0120, while Neil039 (3-3) attempt to get back in the win column against Kayfabe.

Coach Talk

CardinalFan
Listen CardinalFan, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 27 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 5 stood at 104.66. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Neil039
Unless Neil039 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a respectable 29 targets in Week 6. With only 15 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
