Despite top scorer Conner, Havoc fall to Orange bloods in 140.55-137.40 squeaker

Havoc had the premier scorer in the league this week with RB James Conner posting 40.3 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome Orange bloods, who narrowly earned a 140.55-137.40 win. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as Orange bloods led 140.55-99.45 heading into Sunday night. Havoc closed the gap behind Cooper Kupp (20.5 points) and Ryan Tannehill (17.45). Orange bloods were led by Justin Herbert (356 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 14 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Nick Chubb (137 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 26 Rec Yds). Orange bloods (6-3) will look to keep it rolling against ExigentCircumstances, while Havoc (3-6) will take on The Xtreme in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Orange bloods
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to an awesome performance from Justin Herbert, we doubled up Havoc at the quarterback position this past week (39.2 points to 17.45). Herbert went 32-for-38 for 356 yards, two TDs, and no INTs in a three-point triumph over the Eagles.
Havoc
Producing just five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Havoc clearly should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
