Despite top scorer St. Brown, Death From Above fall to Austin 316, 163.01-145.13

Death From Above had the highest scorer in the matchup with WR Amon-Ra St. Brown accumulating 34.9 points, the fifth-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Austin 316, who came out on top with a 163.01-145.13 victory. Austin 316 leapt out to a 60.36-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 45.76 points from Justin Herbert (334 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Mike Williams (8 Rec, 113 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Death From Above came back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by Amon-Ra St. Brown (34.9 points) and Carson Wentz (28.78). Not to be deterred, Austin 316 rallied later that night, as Aaron Jones (30.5 points) put them back ahead for good. Austin 316 (2-0) will look to build on their success against Richmond Hill Roadkill, while Death From Above (1-1) will try to right the ship against Swift kick in the Kupp.

Coach Talk

Austin 316
Mission accomplished, Austin 316. Fielding a lineup that won by nearly 18 points in Week 2. We should keep this momentum going as we step into our next challenge in Week 3.
Death From Above
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 2. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group pulled down just 13 receptions.
