Offensively challenged Dead Again come back to top Hard Targets in 128.95-128.40 thriller

Despite posting only the 11th-highest point total in the league for the week, Dead Again rallied to earn a 128.95-128.40 win over Hard Targets. Dead Again trailed 118.50-110.95 heading into Sunday night, but the unit made a run behind Jake Elliott, who made both of his FG attempts for 12 points, and the Philadelphia Eagles defense, who allowed 33 points, surrendered 342 yards, and intercepted 2 passes (6 points). Patrick Mahomes (320 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 36 Rush Yds) and Tyler Lockett (3 Rec, 68 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the way for Hard Targets in the loss. Dead Again (7-5) will look to keep it rolling against Lucky Enuf, while Hard Targets (10-2) will take on Roughnecks in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

Dead Again
Whoa, now that's what we love to see! A superb 30 completions on 37 attempts for Kirk Cousins this past week. Quality and quantity! The Patriots defense didn't see it coming! In what wound up being a ridiculously tight matchup, the manager of Dead Again has got to be grateful for that efficiency and attention to detail.
Hard Targets
Normally, a single missed field goal isn't any reason to worry. But come on now, talk about impeccable timing: Brett Maher went 0-for-1 on FGs instead of 1-for-1, and Hard Targets lost the matchup by 0.55 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
