Both teams underperformed their projected point totals, but MOBSQUAD did enough to knock off Smack down boyz, securing a 187.2-158.6 victory. Smack down boyz leapt out to a 55.5-point lead on Thursday behind impressive performances from Patrick Mahomes (51.1 points) and Travis Kelce (14).

Coach Talk

MOBSQUAD
We do admire the confidence this past week, MOBSQUAD. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Courtland Sutton), while still earning the W. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Smack down boyz
Unless Smack down boyz wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, two TE) were targeted a respectable 35 times in Week 1. With just 21 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
