Cyclones lose to Me and MaHomies in 80.24-76.16 battle

There's no easy way to say it, Cyclones underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Me and MaHomies eked out an 80.24-76.16 win. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as Me and MaHomies led 80.24-52.36 heading into Monday night. Cyclones closed the gap behind Nick Chubb (82 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 21 Rec Yds). Me and MaHomies were led by Kirk Cousins (17.35 points) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (16). This marks the first time this season Me and MaHomies have taken down Cyclones, after falling 86.32-71.2 in their last matchup. Me and MaHomies will look to not lose that winning feeling in the semifinals next week, while Cyclones seek to rebound and lock up a top-6 finish.

Coach Talk

Me and MaHomies
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Me and MaHomies! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our starting running backs were severely overmatched this past week. Ty Johnson (16 total yards, no TDs) and Wayne Gallman Jr. (73 yards, no TDs) combined for just 10.09 points in Week 14, while the starting backfield for Cyclones tripled us up with a score of 31.45.
Cyclones
Yo, Cyclones, what did your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Seeing only 16 total targets in Week 14, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) obviously need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
