PRODIGY fall short of expectations, lose to Colemania in 106.69-71.46 beatdown

PRODIGY failed to bring their A game, coming up short of projections, as Colemania cruised to a 106.69-71.46 victory. Colemania took an early 11.40-point lead on Thursday. PRODIGY came back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by the Dallas Cowboys defense (10.5 points) and Ryan Tannehill (7.76). Unphased, Colemania made a run at the last minute on Monday night, as the Minnesota Vikings defense (13 points) and Kirk Cousins (9.41) put them back on top for good. This marks the second time this season Colemania have beaten PRODIGY, after winning 108.49-108.17 in their last matchup. Colemania will look to clinch the championship next week, while PRODIGY attempt to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Colemania
You know what, Colemania, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Allen Robinson II and D'Andre Swift), while still earning the win.
PRODIGY
Our starting QB threw an interception and no touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape: Did Ryan Tannehill appear rattled back there in the pocket, or were the Steelers just that strong defending the pass?
