TheMuffinStuffers find way to beat Ligers 128.73-119.38

There's no easy way to put it, TheMuffinStuffers underperformed, at least according to projections. Still, they emerged victorious with a 128.73-119.38 victory over Ligers. TheMuffinStuffers never trailed in this one, coasting to victory behind Cooper Kupp (9 Rec, 136 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Aaron Rodgers (268 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 11 Rush Yds). Russell Gage (21.1 points) and Tyler Boyd (19.35) carried the flag for Ligers in the loss. This marks the second time this season TheMuffinStuffers have gotten the best of Ligers, after winning 103.6-97.3 in their last matchup. TheMuffinStuffers will look to keep winning in the Championship next week, while Ligers seek to rebound and lock up 3rd Place.

Coach Talk

TheMuffinStuffers
Football is all about identifying (and exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to an awesome display by Aaron Rodgers, we doubled up Ligers at the quarterback position this past week (27.53 points to 13.48). Rodgers went 23-for-31 for 268 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a 31-30 win over the Ravens.
Ligers
Happy holidays, Ligers! We hope the GM of TheMuffinStuffers will write a thank-you card for the generous gift you let them have this past week.
