An Easy W fall short of predictions, succumb to The Phantom Limbs in 102.28-80.30 rout

An Easy W failed to bring their A game, falling short of their projected point total, as The Phantom Limbs cruised to a 102.28-80.30 victory. The matchup was decided almost as soon as it started, as The Phantom Limbs earned a 24.78-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 46.78 points from Josh Allen (312 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 57 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Chris Carson (21 Rush Yds, 45 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Lamar Jackson (275 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 45 Rush Yds) and Derrick Henry (116 Rush Yds, 15 Rec Yds) did their part for An Easy W in the loss. The Phantom Limbs (1-0) will look to keep it rolling against Unstoppable, while An Easy W (0-1) attempt to get their first W against The Placebo Arm.

Coach Talk

The Phantom Limbs
Props to you, The Phantom Limbs. Fielding a lineup that exceeded the century mark this past week. We should take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of An Easy W, and continue marching forward to the Hiawatha Elite League championship.
An Easy W
Well, this week's problem is pretty easy to diagnose, An Easy W. Going with the Minnesota Vikings defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
