The White Knucklers lose to Debo, 103.34-48.10

There's no way around it, The White Knucklers underperformed, at least compared to projections, as Debo came out on top with a 103.34-48.10 victory. Debo grabbed a 30.44-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 30.44 points from Patrick Mahomes (211 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Harrison Butker (2-2 FG, 29 long, 4-4 XP) and never looked back. Matt Ryan (23.9 points) and Cooper Kupp (6) were the leaders for The White Knucklers in the loss. Debo (1-0) will look to sustain their momentum against What The Shit, while The White Knucklers (0-1) will face off against Bad News Bears in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Debo
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling The White Knucklers at the wide receiver position (41.8 points to 14.3).
The White Knucklers
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 24 times in Week 1. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 11 catches.
