Project Mayhem succumb to PICKERS, 105.44-86.76

Project Mayhem failed to bring their A game, falling short of projections, as PICKERS secured a 105.44-86.76 victory. PICKERS leapt out to a 66.88-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 44.78 points from Ryan Tannehill (389 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Jonathan Taylor (91 Rush Yds, 44 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and never looked back. Aaron Jones (25.3 points) and the Seattle Seahawks defense (13) carried the flag for Project Mayhem in the loss.

Coach Talk

PICKERS
You know, this sport is all about finding the mismatches. Not only did we double up Project Mayhem at QB (23.78 points to 10.76), we also royally dominated them at WR (44.9 to 17).
Project Mayhem
Project Mayhem will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a hearty 26 targets in Week 13. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down only 13 catches.
