1x League Champ extended their win streak to four games with an easy victory over The Brady Bunch, rolling to a 138.64-95.98 win.

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense (7 Pts Allowed, 200 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) and Joe Mixon (54 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 15 Rec Yds) did everything they could for The Brady Bunch in defeat. 1x League Champ (4-2) will look to sustain their momentum against Golden Nuggets, while The Brady Bunch (3-3) will attempt to get back in the win column against Kyler and the gang.

Coach Talk

1x League Champ
The key to success in football is identifying (and exploiting) the mismatches. Our squad found one this past week and thoroughly outscored The Brady Bunch at the quarterback position (28.24 points to 10.98).
The Brady Bunch
Just like the NFL's new tackling guidelines, remember to keep your chin up, The Brady Bunch! Look, I've been at it long enough to know that every once in a while, free points can just miraculously appear out of the blue. Then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Well, okay; maybe asking for an extra 43 points is a bit on the excessive side.
