Offensively challenged The Cosmos top RG3PO, 84.70-70.24

With the eighth-ranked point total in the league for the week, The Cosmos were lucky to earn a win against a foe that had an even worse week, securing an 84.70-70.24 win over RG3PO. The Cosmos took a 22.40-point lead on Thursday behind an impressive showing from Najee Harris, who ran for 94 yards and a touchdown. RG3PO came back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by Justin Tucker (15 points) and Dak Prescott (11.94). Not to be deterred, The Cosmos rallied later that afternoon, as Justin Herbert (30.9 points) put them back in the lead once and for all. This marks the first time this season The Cosmos have taken down RG3PO, after falling 126.12-38.2 in their last matchup. The Cosmos ends the season on a high note, but they'll miss the postseason with a record of 6-8. RG3PO (9-5) will attempt to bounce back from this loss in the playoffs.

Coach Talk

The Cosmos
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches. We not only dominated RG3PO at QB (30.9 points to 11.94), we also utterly dominated them at RB (22.4 to 8.6).
RG3PO
Unless RG3PO wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 14. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group recorded just 14 catches.
