Steelers Fan top Stoltz for fourth straight win in 179.96-112.85 drubbing

Steelers Fan extended their win streak to four games with a convincing win over Stoltz, cruising to a 179.96-112.85 victory. It was the third loss in a row for Stoltz. Stoltz leapt out to a 28.23-point lead on Thursday behind stellar performances from Darrell Henderson Jr. (16.33 points) and Cooper Kupp (11.9). But it was all Steelers Fan after that. They were led by Justin Herbert (398 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 29 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Ezekiel Elliott (110 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD). Steelers Fan (4-1) will look to maintain their winning ways against Colt’s Not So Official Team, while Stoltz (2-3) will attempt to get back on track against Giants Run The East.

Coach Talk

Steelers Fan
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a stellar showing from Justin Herbert, we tripled Stoltz at the quarterback position this past week (54.8 points to 18.05). Herbert went 26-for-43 for 398 yards and four TDs in a 47-42 triumph over the Browns.
Stoltz
Well, Week 5's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Stoltz. Starting the Denver Broncos defense in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll just move on from this and assume it's not going to happen again.
