Snakebitten!!! come up short of projections, succumb to Darkhorse198 in 128.90-86.54 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Snakebitten!!! didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as Darkhorse198 rolled to a 128.90-86.54 victory. Snakebitten!!! took a 46.24-point lead on Thursday behind standout efforts from Patrick Mahomes, who passed for 211 yards and 3 touchdowns for 25.44 points, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who ran for 138 yards and a touchdown (20.8 points). But it was all Darkhorse198 after that. They were led by Matt Ryan (450 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Mark Andrews (5 Rec, 58 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Darkhorse198 (1-0) will look to maintain their momentum against Started from the top, while Snakebitten!!! (0-1) will try to get some positive momentum against Jinxproof.

Coach Talk

Darkhorse198
Props to you, Darkhorse198. Good job deploying a lineup that blew the opponent out by more than 42 points in Week 1. Let's keep this momentum as we move on to our next challenge in Week 2.
Snakebitten!!!
Hey now, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for Snakebitten!!! collectively registered only two receptions on six targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 2!
