Cardinals Polska hand Metropolitans sixth consecutive loss in 123.74-54.24 rout

Cardinals Polska rolled to a 123.74-54.24 win to hand Metropolitans their sixth consecutive loss to open the season. It didn't take long to figure out who would be the frontrunner in this one, as Cardinals Polska jumped out to a 34.3-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding performances from Justin Jefferson and Philip Rivers. Jefferson caught 9 passes for 166 yards and 2 touchdowns for 34.6 points, while Rivers passed for 371 yards and 3 touchdowns (25.74 points). Matt Ryan (32.64 points) and Kenny Golladay (11.5) carried the flag for Metropolitans in the loss. Cardinals Polska (2-4) will look to maintain their winning ways against Volcano Man, while Metropolitans (0-6) seek to generate some positive momentum against Sir Luka.

Coach Talk

Cardinals Polska
Hey, we admire the confidence, Cardinals Polska. It takes real moxie to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Za'Darius Smith and Noah Fant), while still earning the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Volcano Man and we're sure to be toast!
Metropolitans
Unless Metropolitans wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" cannot be a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 32 targets in Week 6. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group hauled in just 16 catches.
