Orange Herbert beat BARK for third straight win in 161.36-114.82 blowout

Orange Herbert extended their win streak to three games with an easy win over BARK, cruising to a 161.36-114.82 victory. BARK nabbed a 25.26-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout showings from Nick Chubb, who racked up 163 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 30.3 points, and Dalvin Cook, who racked up 122 yards from scrimmage (15.2 points). But it was all Orange Herbert after that. They were led by Justin Herbert (356 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 14 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Joe Mixon (64 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 46 Rec Yds). Orange Herbert (5-4) will look to notch another W against Davin_The_Dude, while BARK (2-7) try to get some positive momentum against PassThe Cyanide.

Coach Talk

Orange Herbert
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling outing from Justin Herbert, we nearly tripled BARK at the quarterback position this past week (35.64 points to 12.44). Herbert went 32-for-38 for 356 yards and two TDs (plus no INTs) in a three-point win over the Eagles.
BARK
Welp, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to see a healthy 16 targets in Week 9. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group recorded just eight receptions.
