Jake's Swag Team succumb to Purple Cobras in 100.10-74.14 rout

Brown (17.2). Russell Wilson (206 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and David Montgomery (113 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 42 Rec Yds) did everything they could for Jake's Swag Team in the loss.

Coach Talk

Purple Cobras
Countless hours in the film room and in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the final result? A spectacular 36 completions on 44 attempts: good enough for an 82% completion percentage for Justin Herbert this past week. The Falcons secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Jake's Swag Team
Here's a list of scenarios where it's borderline acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Dwight Howard free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Wil Lutz might have just kicked himself to the waiver wire following this performance.
