L.A. Golds fall short of predictions, still manage to defeat We Run This Town, 107.63-87.37

There's no sugarcoating it, L.A. Golds dropped the ball, at least compared to projections. Still, they came out on top with a 107.63-87.37 win over We Run This Town. We Run This Town grabbed a 37.34-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding showings from Mark Andrews, who caught 8 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown for 24.5 points, and K.J. Osborn, who caught 5 passes for 68 yards and a touchdown (16.55 points). But L.A. Golds held the lead the rest of the way, powered by David Montgomery, who racked up 106 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 27.1 points, and Amari Cooper, who caught 7 passes for 85 yards and a touchdown (19.75 points). This marks the second time this season L.A. Golds have knocked off We Run This Town, after winning 111.4-95.2 in their last matchup. L.A.

Coach Talk

L.A. Golds
Listen, L.A. Golds, we applaud you on the confidence. It takes a special kind of guts to roll out a starter with negative points (the Baltimore Ravens defense) while still getting a win. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
We Run This Town
With not a single target thrown in their direction this past week the starting RBs for We Run This Town should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
