My Team beat expectations, knock off Choice Team in 122.62-97.80 beatdown

Both teams showed up, but My Team beat Choice Team. Predicted to prevail by a score of 99.41-83.85, My Team rolled to a 122.62-97.80 victory over Choice Team. Choice Team leapt out to a 32.60-point lead on Thursday behind standout showings from Josh Allen, who passed for 260 yards and 4 touchdowns and ran for 43 yards for 28.7 points, and the Buffalo Bills defense, who allowed only 6 points, surrendered 190 yards, and intercepted a pass (11 points). But it was all My Team after that. They were led by Leonard Fournette (40.6 points) and Adam Thielen (20.7). This marks the second time this season My Team have gotten the best of Choice Team, after winning 139.32-92.4 in their last matchup. My Team (8-4) will look to add to their success against Griddy King, while Choice Team (5-7) will try to generate some positive momentum against I Have Spoken.

Coach Talk

My Team
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to great numbers out of the backfield, our team definitely took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outplayed Choice Team at the running back spot (50.4 points to 9.3). Leonard Fournette had 131 total yards and four TDs, while Alexander Mattison logged 28 yards.
Choice Team
Unless Choice Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" cannot be a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 12. With just 14 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
