Grateful Dogs top projections but lose to Switchmillers in 133-106 rout

Grateful Dogs outperformed their projected point total, but it wasn't enough to swing the result as Switchmillers cruised to a 133-106 victory. Grateful Dogs earned a 21-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Switchmillers after that. They were led by Dak Prescott (35 points) and Tyler Higbee (23). Patrick Mahomes (302 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 54 Rush Yds) and Kareem Hunt (86 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 15 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) were the leading performers for Grateful Dogs in the loss. Switchmillers (2-0) will look to earn another W against IDP Knuckle Heads, while Grateful Dogs (0-2) meet Iso Rockets in an effort to get their first win.

Coach Talk

Switchmillers
You know what, Switchmillers, we do certainly respect the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Will Fuller V), while still earning the W... that's borderline arrogant! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
Grateful Dogs
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 28 targets in Week 2. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group notched only 17 receptions.
