Dead Again fall short of projections, lose to DARC NARC, 122.25-95.50

There's no sugarcoating it, Dead Again underdelivered, at least based on projections, as DARC NARC earned a 122.25-95.50 win. DARC NARC never trailed in this one after earning a 16.60-point lead on Thursday behind Christian Kirk (8.6 points) and the Green Bay Packers defense (8). Trevor Lawrence (238 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 11 Rush Yds) and Ja'Marr Chase (3 Rec, 32 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the way for Dead Again in the loss. DARC NARC (3-5) will look to keep it rolling against Arrogant Americans, while Dead Again (4-4) will try to get back on track against The Dogs of War.

Coach Talk

DARC NARC
Listen DARC NARC, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 138.06 points through Week 7, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 122.25 we needed for this past week's win!
Dead Again
Dead Again will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 33 targets in Week 8. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group managed just 18 catches.
