Rebellion fall short of predictions, succumb to Aussig Spartans in 110.44-67.32 rout

There's no way around it, Rebellion didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Aussig Spartans rolled to a 110.44-67.32 victory. Rebellion took the first lead in the matchup , but Aussig Spartans held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Cooper Kupp (9 Rec, 136 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Jonathan Taylor (170 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD). Aaron Rodgers (23.82 points) and the Houston Texans defense (10) were the leaders for Rebellion in the loss. This marks the second time this season Aussig Spartans have knocked off Rebellion, after winning 127.84-94.06 in their last matchup. Aussig Spartans will look to not lose that winning feeling in the Championship next week, while Rebellion attempt to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Aussig Spartans
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Not only did we dominate Rebellion at WR (55.3 points to 21.4), we also tripled them at RB (26.7 to 7.7).
Rebellion
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 25 targets in Week 15. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 14 catches.
