Ego Crushers brought their A game, cruising to a 146.05-116.45 win over 7, who fell short of projections. Ego Crushers took a 25.7-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind Jaylen Waddle (29 points) and Darrel Williams (23.9) and never let it go. Jonathan Taylor (28.8 points) and Aaron Jones (21) did everything they could for 7 in defeat.

Coach Talk

Ego Crushers
You know, the key to football is spotting and exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying 7 at the wide receiver position (47.6 points to 17.4).
7
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 19 targets in Week 6. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in just 11 catches.
