Roughnecks overcome starter's goose egg, come back to beat DominationStation in 169.30-142.05 romp

Despite a 0-point week from Sammy Watkins, Roughnecks were able to persevere and earn the victory, rolling to a 169.30-142.05 win over DominationStation. DominationStation got out to a 21.50-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Roughnecks after that. They were led by Josh Allen, who passed for 308 yards , ran for 109 yards and scored 3 touchdowns for 42.3 points, and James Conner, who racked up 125 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns (33.5 points). Tom Brady (363 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 16 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (37 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) did their part for DominationStation in the loss. This marks the second time this season Roughnecks have gotten the best of DominationStation, after winning 144-105.2 in their last matchup. Roughnecks will look to keep it rolling in the next round of the playoffs.

Coach Talk

Roughnecks
Listen, Roughnecks, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Sammy Watkins), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
DominationStation
Producing three catches on only four measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for DominationStation should remind their QBs to check down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
