MooDib come back to defeat ItaliA in 104.36-100.20 battle despite falling short of projections

Full of promise, MooDib underdelivered, at least according to projections. Still, they came from behind for a 104.36-100.20 victory over ItaliA. MooDib trailed 95.40-91.50 heading into Sunday night, but the team made a run behind Devin White, who made 14 tackles for 10.5 points, and Tom Brady, who passed for 209 yards (2.36 points). Josh Allen (42 points) and Davante Adams (23.3) carried the flag for ItaliA in the loss. MooDib (6-3) will look to keep it rolling against Tebowculosis, while ItaliA (5-4) will meet Full Chubb in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

MooDib
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart by quadrupling ItaliA at running back this past week (23.3 points to 5.3).
ItaliA
Don't get too down on yourself, ItaliA! Trust me here (this is coming from a coach who's experienced life on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that scrappy Graduate Assistant job open at the community college down the road!
