EBDBBnB brush off projections, knock off The Jimmy Gs in 135.08-113.74 rout

EBDBBnB showed up, cruising to a 135.08-113.74 victory over The Jimmy Gs, who fell short of projections. There was very little drama in the matchup, as EBDBBnB jumped out to a 33.96-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind stellar showings from Tyler Lockett and Alvin Kamara. Lockett caught 5 passes for 104 yards and 2 touchdowns for 27.4 points, while Kamara racked up 194 yards from scrimmage (23.4 points). Travis Kelce (7 Rec, 25 Rec Yds, 4 Rec TDs) and Stefon Diggs (8 Rec, 102 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) were the leading scorers for The Jimmy Gs in the loss. EBDBBnB (4-1) will look to sustain their winning ways against The Autumn Wind, while The Jimmy Gs (3-2) will take on PROTECT THIS HOUSE! in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

EBDBBnB
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Not only did we double up The Jimmy Gs at QB (30.48 points to 12.34), we also thoroughly dominated them at RB (40.7 to 11.3).
The Jimmy Gs
Our starting QB threw two interceptions and no touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Were the Texans actually that great defending the pass, or did Trevor Lawrence appear shaky back there in the pocket? What do you think, The Jimmy Gs, do we continue to start him with confidence?
