BenchWarmers come back to top Stormlight 65.57-59.43

Both teams failed to bring their A game, falling short of projections, but BenchWarmers did enough to get the best of Stormlight. Predicted to win 108.18-93.94, BenchWarmers rallied to earn a 65.57-59.43 win over Stormlight. BenchWarmers trailed 59.43-54.60 heading into Monday night, but the squad roared back behind Taylor Heinicke (223 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD). Adam Thielen (5 Rec, 62 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Josh Jacobs (87 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 25 Rec Yds) led the way for Stormlight in defeat.

Coach Talk

BenchWarmers
You know BenchWarmers, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 96.3 points through Week 11, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 65.57 we needed to win this past week!
Stormlight
Hmm, is point-shaving a thing in fantasy football? Was Cam Newton facing himself in a fantasy matchup this past week? Did he choose to start the Dolphins Defense this week? With five completions on 21 attempts, we've got some suspicions here.
