The Chubb Clubb come up short of predictions, succumb to The Mad Scientist in 110.98-82.64 rout

There's no easy way to put it, The Chubb Clubb underperformed, at least based on projections, as The Mad Scientist rolled to a 110.98-82.64 win. The Mad Scientist took an 18.82-point lead on Thursday behind Lamar Jackson (16.42 points) and Jaylen Waddle (6.1) and never looked back. Darrel Williams (43 Rush Yds, 101 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and D'Ernest Johnson (99 Rush Yds, 58 Rec Yds) carried the flag for The Chubb Clubb in the loss. The Mad Scientist (5-5) will look to keep it rolling against Magic Skol Bus, while The Chubb Clubb (2-8) face off against Petey T's Truthers in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

The Mad Scientist
Wow, The Mad Scientist, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this blowout. Along with a 28.34-point victory, you also jumped up from 10th place to eighth in the league standings!
The Chubb Clubb
"Not getting many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for The Chubb Clubb. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 37 times in Week 10. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they pulled down just 20 catches.
