Tyler's Tip-Top Team lose to Team ROAR in 120.80-89.80 rout

There's no way around it, Tyler's Tip-Top Team didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Team ROAR rolled to a 120.80-89.80 victory. Team ROAR never trailed in this one after taking a 10.78-point lead on Saturday behind the Indianapolis Colts defense (20.52 points). Matthew Stafford (244 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Nick Chubb (91 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) carried the flag for Tyler's Tip-Top Team in the loss. This marks the second time this season Team ROAR have beaten Tyler's Tip-Top Team, after falling 113.8-107.8 in their last matchup. Team ROAR will look to not lose that winning feeling in the Championship next week, while Tyler's Tip-Top Team seek to rebound and lock up 3rd Place.

Coach Talk

Team ROAR
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Tyler's Tip-Top Team at the wide receiver position (38.8 points to 15.2).
Tyler's Tip-Top Team
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 21 times in Week 15. With just 12 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
