The Cosmos hand Outlawz eighth straight loss, 93.22-82.58

The Cosmos came out on top with a 93.22-82.58 win to hand Outlawz their eighth consecutive loss. Outlawz earned a 15.50-point lead on Thursday, but The Cosmos held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Justin Herbert, who passed for 303 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran for 36 yards for 23.72 points, and Jonathan Taylor, who racked up 97 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown (15.7 points). Russell Wilson (247 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 16 Rush Yds) and Javonte Williams (54 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 57 Rec Yds) led the charge for Outlawz in the loss. This marks the second time this season The Cosmos have beaten Outlawz, after winning 103.74-67.42 in their last matchup. The Cosmos (5-7) will look to keep it rolling against Mark Davis' Revenge!, while Outlawz (1-11) attempt to get back on track against The Riddlers.

Coach Talk

The Cosmos
Deploying a lineup that netted over 93 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done. Let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Outlawz, and continue marching forward to a fantasy title.
Outlawz
Unless Outlawz wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a respectable 27 targets in Week 12. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they managed just 14 catches.
