PANTHERZ fall to Gridiron Gladiators in 132.04-95.26 drubbing

There's no way around it, PANTHERZ dropped the ball, at least based on projections, as Gridiron Gladiators rolled to a 132.04-95.26 victory. Gridiron Gladiators never trailed in this one after earning a 23.30-point lead on Thursday behind George Kittle. Zay Jones (31.9 points) and Darren Waller (12.3) were the top performers for PANTHERZ in the loss. This marks the second time this season Gridiron Gladiators have taken down PANTHERZ, after winning 125.2-121.36 in their last matchup. Gridiron Gladiators will look to not lose that winning feeling in the Championship next week, while PANTHERZ attempt to rebound and lock up 3rd Place.

Coach Talk

Gridiron Gladiators
Hey, it's good to be confident, Gridiron Gladiators. Playing a starter with zero points (Pat Freiermuth), while still earning a win... that's borderline cocky.
PANTHERZ
Unless PANTHERZ wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 15. With just 17 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
