New Name TBD hand Golden Boy seventh consecutive loss, 99.68-73.20

New Name TBD came out on top with a 99.68-73.20 win to hand Golden Boy their seventh consecutive loss. Golden Boy nabbed a 21.20-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding performances from Ezekiel Elliott, who racked up 49 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 11.45 points, and Michael Gallup, who caught 5 passes for 106 yards (7.05 points). But New Name TBD held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Cordarrelle Patterson (108 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 27 Rec Yds) and Antonio Gibson (111 Rush Yds, 35 Rec Yds). This marks the second time this season New Name TBD have beaten Golden Boy, after winning 113.27-84.34 in their last matchup. New Name TBD (5-7) will look to maintain their winning ways against Datruth, while Golden Boy (2-10) take on Bell Biv DVOA in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

New Name TBD
You know, football is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. We really emphasized that by doubling up Golden Boy at running back this past week (39.7 points to 16.8).
Golden Boy
"Not getting many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Golden Boy. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 27 times in Week 12. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down just 14 receptions.
