Despite top scorer Samuel, The End Zones fall to My Ball Zach Ertz, 146.48-131.05

Deebo Samuel had 36.45 points for The End Zones, the best total in the matchup and third-best in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to vanquish My Ball Zach Ertz, who secured a 146.48-131.05 victory. My Ball Zach Ertz nabbed a 103.28-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout efforts from Jalen Hurts (387 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 47 Rush Yds) and the Buffalo Bills defense (0 Pts Allowed, 109 Yds Allowed, 5 Turnovers) and never looked back. Deebo Samuel (36.45 points) and James Conner (20.6) carried the flag for The End Zones in the loss. My Ball Zach Ertz (3-1) will look to keep it rolling against The Kickin Chickins, while The End Zones (2-2) will match up against Polk High Panthers in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

My Ball Zach Ertz
Good job assembling a starting crew that won by more than 15 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should keep this momentum rolling as we step into our next matchup in Week 5.
The End Zones
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to get a respectable 41 targets in Week 4. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they managed only 22 catches.
