Alien succumb to Relentlesss1, 109.56-104.20

There's no sugarcoating it, Alien underperformed, at least according to projections, as Relentlesss1 earned a 109.56-104.20 victory. Alien earned a 14.8-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but Relentlesss1 held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by the Kansas City Chiefs defense (17 points) and Eli Mitchell (15.9). George Kittle (9 Rec, 181 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Leonard Fournette (44 Rush Yds, 48 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) carried the flag for Alien in the loss. This marks the second time this season Relentlesss1 have beaten Alien, after winning 118.22-117.72 in their last matchup. Relentlesss1 (7-6) will look to keep it rolling against Vincent Victorious, while Alien (8-5) attempt to get back on track against Steely Nick.

Coach Talk

Relentlesss1
Kudos to you, Relentlesss1. Good work assembling a lineup that recorded 109.56 points in Week 13. Let's keep this momentum as we move on to what could be a winnable matchup in Week 14.
Alien
"Not seeing enough chances" isn't an excuse this week for Alien. Our four pass-catchers (two WR, two TE) collectively received a healthy 25 targets in Week 13. With just 14 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
