Spoon manage to top London Gentlemen in 72.5-44.5 rout despite falling short of expectations

Both teams failed to bring their A game, but Spoon did enough to knock off London Gentlemen, rolling to a 72.5-44.5 victory. Spoon earned a 9.0-point lead on Thursday behind Nick Chubb (11 points) and never let go of it. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense (14 Pts Allowed, 315 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) and Justin Tucker (1-1 FG, 56 long, 4-5 XP) were the top performers for London Gentlemen in defeat. Spoon (1-2) will look to notch another win against Philly Phresh, while London Gentlemen (1-2) will take on Flyhawks in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Spoon
Way to shrug off that two-game losing streak, Spoon! Each fantasy GM is sure to be presented with adversity at some point or another... keep on truckin' and good things will continue to happen.
London Gentlemen
Wait, our quarterback tossed two interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? I guess we're presented with a fork in the road here: Was Justin Fields actually that sloppy from the pocket, or was the Texans secondary just that strong against the pass? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of London Gentlemen?
