Beach House fall short of expectations, find way to top Devils, 102.66-87.58

Both teams failed to live up to their projected point totals, but Beach House did enough to get the best of Devils, earning a 102.66-87.58 win. Beach House never trailed in this one, coasting to victory behind the New England Patriots defense, who allowed only 13 points, surrendered 323 yards, and forced 2 turnovers for 20 points, and Ryan Tannehill, who passed for 254 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran for 16 yards (18.76 points). Jalen Hurts (217 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 77 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Josh Jacobs (99 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 15 Rec Yds) were the top scorers for Devils in the loss. This marks the first time this season Beach House have taken down Devils, after falling 120.26-110.16 in their last matchup. Beach House (10-4) will look to add to their success against Karlie Kloss, while Devils (11-3) will match up against Nate's Notable Team in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Beach House
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Beach House! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve: our starting running backs were severely outplayed this past week. Travis Homer (34 total yards, no TDs) and Dalvin Cook (36 yards, one TD) combined for only 12.5 points in Week 14, and the starting backfield for Devils doubled us up with a score of 30.4. We need to put some more effort into studying those playbooks!
Devils
Devils will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 21 targets in Week 14. With only 11 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
