Gotham City fall short of projections, lose to Paladins in 133.42-107.78 landslide

There's no easy way to put it, Gotham City dropped the ball, at least based on projections, as Paladins cruised to a 133.42-107.78 win. Gotham City took a 15.38-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all Paladins after that. They were led by Kyler Murray, who passed for 400 yards , ran for 31 yards and scored 4 touchdowns for 36.1 points, and Justin Herbert, who passed for 338 yards and a touchdown and ran for 12 yards (16.72 points). The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense (22 points) and Matthew Stafford (17.22) did everything they could for Gotham City in defeat. Paladins (2-0) will look to keep it rolling against Elena Delle Donne., while Gotham City (1-1) attempt to get back on track against Shroud of mystery.

Coach Talk

Paladins
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by great performances by Devin Singletary and Chris Carson, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We almost tripled Gotham City at running back (30.2 points to 10.6). Singletary had 91 total yards and a TD, while Carson logged 31 yards and two scores.
Gotham City
Registering only a couple of targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Gotham City should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
