The Benchwarmers hand Mantitties69 fourth consecutive loss in 169.70-140.48 rout

The Benchwarmers cruised to a 169.70-140.48 win to hand Mantitties69 their fourth straight loss. It didn't take long to learn who would lead the way in this one, as The Benchwarmers jumped out to a 41.30-point lead on Thursday behind stellar efforts from Duke Johnson (17 points) and Brandin Cooks (13.5). Patrick Mahomes (33.28 points) and the New Orleans Saints defense (24) carried the flag for Mantitties69 in defeat. The Benchwarmers (4-8) will look to keep it rolling against Flaccid Cucumbers, while Mantitties69 (6-6) will meet The Dadinators in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

The Benchwarmers
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no way sugarcoat it, The Benchwarmers: our starting QB was thoroughly outmatched this past week. Patrick Mahomes went 37-of-49 for 462 yards and three touchdowns for Mantitties69, and all Matt Ryan could manage through the air was 185 yards and two passing scores (plus an ugly interception). Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Mantitties69
Unless Mantitties69 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and two TE) were targeted a whopping 18 times in Week 12. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they pulled down only nine receptions.
