There's no way around it, Rig Pigs dropped the ball, at least based on projections, as VIKES cruised to a 134.98-78.26 victory. It didn't take long to learn who would lead the way in the matchup, as VIKES grabbed a 39.50-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding efforts from Cooper Kupp and Stefon Diggs. Kupp caught 13 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown for 25.3 points, while Diggs caught 8 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown (22.2 points).

Coach Talk

VIKES
Bravo, VIKES. Nice job deploying a starting crew that blew the opposition out by a whopping 56.72 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum going as we head into our Week 2 matchup.
Rig Pigs
Unless Rig Pigs wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" is not a valid excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to see a hearty 35 targets in Week 1. With only 20 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
