Snod Rats top Soupa-heewoes to remain unbeaten in 130.57-108.22 beatdown

Snod Rats won their ninth straight to open the season with an easy win over Soupa-heewoes, cruising to a 130.57-108.22 victory. Soupa-heewoes leapt out to a 68.97-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind impressive efforts from Kirk Cousins, who passed for 187 yards and 2 touchdowns for 24.13 points, and the New England Patriots defense, who allowed only 6 points, surrendered 240 yards, and intercepted 3 passes (20 points). But it was all Snod Rats after that. They were led by James Conner (96 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 77 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Jalen Hurts (162 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 62 Rush Yds). Snod Rats (9-0) will look to build on their success against Steel City Psychos, while Soupa-heewoes (5-4) try to right the ship against WinterbothamWankers.

Coach Talk

Snod Rats
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We made that a point of emphasis by nearly tripling Soupa-heewoes at running back this past week (43.1 points to 14.85).
Soupa-heewoes
Our quarterback tossed two interceptions and just a single touchdown? I guess we're presented with a couple of options here: Were the Giants truly that strong against the pass, or was Derek Carr just that out-of-tune with the receivers? What do you think, Soupa-heewoes... should we continue rolling with him?
