Back-and-forth battle ends with VIKES coming back to top Try City Ducks in 137.04-91.90 runaway

What a battle! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, VIKES earned a dominant victory over Try City Ducks, rolling to a 137.04-91.90 win. Try City Ducks got out to an early 14.10-point lead on Thursday. VIKES came back to take the lead during the late games on Sunday, powered by Cooper Kupp (26.3 points) and the San Francisco 49ers defense (15). Unphased, Try City Ducks rallied later that night to take a 4.8-point lead behind the Green Bay Packers defense (9 points). But VIKES came back again when it mattered most on Monday night, as Stefon Diggs (38.8 points) and Kirk Cousins (10.84) put them back on top once and for all. VIKES (2-0) will look to earn another win against JJettas griddy, while Try City Ducks (1-1) will try to get back in the win column against Allen the Family.

Coach Talk

VIKES
Good job deploying a starting crew that tallied more than 137 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. We should tip our cap to the GM of Try City Ducks, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards the Buits Memorial Trash Talk NFL league title.
Try City Ducks
Your starting QB tossed three interceptions and not a single touchdown? It might be good to go back and review the game tape. Were the Jaguars genuinely that stout defending the pass, or was Matt Ryan just that inaccurate from the pocket? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of Try City Ducks?
