Lou's Crew 1 hand 727 third straight loss, 302.25-258.85

Lou's Crew 1 secured a 302.25-258.85 win to hand 727 their third consecutive loss. 727 leapt out to a 63.00-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding efforts from Dalvin Cook, who racked up 222 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 45.1 points, and Diontae Johnson, who caught 5 passes for 76 yards (17.9 points). But Lou's Crew 1 held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Josh Allen (308 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 109 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Leonard Fournette (113 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 19 Rec Yds). This marks the second time this season Lou's Crew 1 have gotten the best of 727, after winning 268.6-267.9 in their last matchup. Lou's Crew 1 (9-5) will look to keep it rolling in the playoffs, while 727 (7-7) will attempt to bounce back and make a run of their own in the postseason.

Coach Talk

Lou's Crew 1
You know what, Lou's Crew 1, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Jermar Jefferson), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
727
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 38 times in Week 14. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded only 18 receptions.
