Chicken nuggets fall short of predictions, succumb to WinterbothamWankers, 129.93-103.75

There's no easy way to put it, Chicken nuggets underdelivered, at least based on projections, as WinterbothamWankers emerged victorious with a 129.93-103.75 victory. WinterbothamWankers took a 37.82-point lead on Thursday behind stellar showings from the Dallas Cowboys defense (17 points) and Dak Prescott (15.62) and never looked back. Russell Wilson (231 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 15 Rush Yds) and Keenan Allen (5 Rec, 34 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) carried the flag for Chicken nuggets in the loss. This marks the first time this season WinterbothamWankers have gotten the best of Chicken nuggets, after falling 163.96-156.61 in their last matchup. WinterbothamWankers (2-11) will look to sustain their winning ways against The RC Padres, while Chicken nuggets (4-9) will attempt to get back in the win column against Molly Hatchet.

Coach Talk

WinterbothamWankers
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, WinterbothamWankers... our wide receivers were thoroughly outclassed by the opposition. DeVonta Smith (15 total yards, no TDs) logged only 11.1 points in Week 13. The starting wideouts for Chicken nuggets tripled us up with a score of 35.9. Let's put some extra effort into studying those playbooks!
