DirtBags knock off Ivan the Destroyer in 170.25-80.75 rout

Despite identical records, DirtBags held a big season point advantage over Ivan the Destroyer coming into this one (963-702), and they lived up to their reputation with an easy victory, rolling to a 170.25-80.75 win.

Coach Talk

DirtBags
Whoa, DirtBags, have you been practicing any gymnastics recently? Along with an 89.5-point victory, you also vaulted over four other teams to fourth place in the league standings... directly into the thick of playoff contention
Ivan the Destroyer
Hey, Ivan the Destroyer, what'd your pass-catchers do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating only nine total targets this past week, our starting receiver crew (three WR, one TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
