Buffalo Sonics come back to defeat Six Footers in 104-102 battle

Full of promise, Buffalo Sonics underdelivered, at least based on projections. Still, they rallied to earn a 104-102 win over Six Footers. Buffalo Sonics trailed 102-96 heading into Monday night, but the team came back behind Jarvis Landry (8 points). Tyreek Hill (32 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 79 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Nelson Agholor (5 Rec, 100 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did everything they could for Six Footers in the loss. This marks the first time this season Buffalo Sonics have taken down Six Footers, after falling 178-176 in their last matchup. Buffalo Sonics will look to not lose that winning feeling in next week's semifinal round, while Six Footers seek to rebound and finish the season with a win.

Coach Talk

Buffalo Sonics
We can't overstate just how critical tight wins like this can be for team chemistry. Overcoming tough obstacles and persevering in the face of adversity... look for the Buffalo Sonics locker room to really gel heading into Week 15.
Six Footers
Six Footers may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (six WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 31 times in Week 14. With just 17 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
