Pain and Suffering succumb to The Footballas, 183.00-167.57

There's no easy way to put it, Pain and Suffering didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as The Footballas came out on top with a 183.00-167.57 victory. The Footballas never trailed in this one after grabbing a 20.00-point lead on Thursday behind Nick Folk. Austin Ekeler (50 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 65 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Nick Chubb (130 Rush Yds, 14 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) carried the flag for Pain and Suffering in the loss. The Footballas (4-7) will look to maintain their winning ways against Macheteros™, while Pain and Suffering (8-3) take on Clark Kent in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

The Footballas
Solid work this past week, The Footballas! We'll give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now focus our attention towards a tough challenge in Macheteros™.
Pain and Suffering
Unless Pain and Suffering wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 13 times in Week 11. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group recorded only seven receptions.
