Keenan & Kelce come up short of predictions, lose to Big Blue Gators in 127.1-91.3 romp

There's no easy way to say it, Keenan & Kelce underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Big Blue Gators rolled to a 127.1-91.3 victory. Keenan & Kelce took a 2.2-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Big Blue Gators after that. They were led by Patrick Mahomes, who passed for 360 yards and 5 touchdowns for 34.9 points, and Davante Adams, who caught 10 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown (30.1 points). Travis Kelce (26.1 points) and Nick Chubb (15.3) did everything they could for Keenan & Kelce in defeat. Big Blue Gators (1-0) will look to keep it rolling against Money In The Bank, while Keenan & Kelce (0-1) attempt to get back on track against CAVIAR CARTEL.

Coach Talk

Big Blue Gators
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We not only dominated Keenan & Kelce at QB (34.9 points to 13.8), we also tripled them at WR (44.8 to 14).
Keenan & Kelce
Wait, our starting QB tossed three interceptions and just a pair of touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Were the Chargers genuinely that good against the pass, or was Derek Carr just that off-rhythm with his receivers? This is the sort of decision you'll need to make... Keenan & Kelce, as you deploy your lineup in Week 2 and beyond!
