King Cobras extended their win streak to three games with a convincing victory over Get At Me!, rolling to a 230-147 win.

Coach Talk

King Cobras
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline acceptable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? It's quite possible that Wil Lutz just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
Get At Me!
Fortunately, Get At Me!, Week 14's problem is pretty easy to diagnose. Choosing to start Deebo Samuel in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just put this in the rear-view mirror and assume it's not going to happen again?
