Unable to overcome negative points, I ate my helmet fall to Weed man in 107.70-107.52 battle

Hampered by negative points from the Buffalo Bills defense, I ate my helmet were unable to overcome Weed man, which narrowly earned a 107.70-107.52 win. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as Weed man led 107.70-82.90 heading into Monday night. I ate my helmet made it interesting behind Josh Allen, who passed for 263 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran for 18 yards for 18.32 points, and Hunter Henry, who caught 4 passes for 23 yards and a touchdown (10.3 points). DK Metcalf (6 Rec, 93 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Calvin Ridley (8 Rec, 136 Rec Yds) were the top performers for Weed man in the win. Weed man (2-3) will look to keep it rolling against Thunder cats, while I ate my helmet (2-3) face off against Alex's Awesome Team in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Weed man
We just can't overstate how critical tight victories like this can be for the locker room. Overcoming tough obstacles and persevering in the face of adversity... we expect the Weed man team chemistry to be sky-high heading into Week 6.
I ate my helmet
Generally, missing a field goal isn't any real cause for concern, but talk about impeccable timing: Justin Tucker goes 2-for-3 on FGs instead of 3-for-3, and I ate my helmet loses the matchup by 0.18 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
