Packerbackers succumb to The Comeback Kid in 115.68-49.56 landslide

Packerbackers underachieved compared to projections, as The Comeback Kid cruised to a 115.68-49.56 victory. Packerbackers nabbed a 16.80-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding performances from Keenan Allen (13.8 points) and the Kansas City Chiefs defense (3). But it was all The Comeback Kid after that. They were led by Travis Kelce (10 Rec, 191 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Brandin Cooks (7 Rec, 102 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). This marks the first time this season The Comeback Kid have beaten Packerbackers, after falling 113.6-81.86 in their last matchup. The Comeback Kid will look to not lose that winning feeling in the Championship next week, while Packerbackers attempt to rebound and lock up 3rd Place.

Coach Talk

The Comeback Kid
Deploying a lineup that won by more than 66 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Packerbackers
Registering only two targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Packerbackers should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more frequently.
