Packerbackers knock off The Mad Scientist in 137.44-98.16 runaway

Packerbackers exceeded their projected point total, cruising to a 137.44-98.16 win over The Mad Scientist, who fell short of projections. The Mad Scientist grabbed a 2.7-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all Packerbackers after that. They were led by Aaron Jones, who racked up 115 yards from scrimmage and scored 4 touchdowns for 35.5 points, and Tom Brady, who passed for 276 yards and 5 touchdowns (29.64 points). Lamar Jackson (34.26 points) and Daniel Carlson (17) carried the flag for The Mad Scientist in the loss. Packerbackers (2-0) will look to sustain their winning ways against Yeti Attack!, while The Mad Scientist (1-1) will attempt to get back on track against The Comeback Kid.

Coach Talk

Packerbackers
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we double up The Mad Scientist at RB (47.9 points to 23.5), we also tripled them at WR (33.7 to 9.7).
The Mad Scientist
Unless The Mad Scientist wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 30 times in Week 2. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they managed just 18 receptions.
