There's no easy way to say it, Boom in the Endzone underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Throw up the X earned an 84-63 victory. Throw up the X grabbed a 43-point lead on Thursday behind impressive performances from the New England Patriots defense (0 Pts Allowed, 165 Yds Allowed, 4 Turnovers) and Mac Jones (14) and never looked back. Adam Thielen (8 Rec, 82 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Stefon Diggs (4 Rec, 23 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) were the leading performers for Boom in the Endzone in the loss. Throw up the X (8-3) will look to build on their success against Naperville Methlab, while Boom in the Endzone (5-6) try to get back on track against plano tiburon.

Coach Talk

Throw up the X
Getting the win is most important, Throw up the X, but we do know of one spot where we can improve as a team: our starting running backs were soundly outclassed this past week. Our backfield produced only 5 points in Week 11. Devin Singletary and Devonta Freeman tripled us up with a score of 16. Let's work with the O-line to find some more holes in Week 12!
Boom in the Endzone
Fortunately, Boom in the Endzone, Week 11's problem is fairly easy to diagnose. Choosing to start Dan Arnold and Marcus Johnson in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll deem this to be an opportunity to get better and agree that it won't happen again?
