Klistron Elephants fall to Dead Touchdowns in 130.30-106.47 landslide

Coach Talk

Dead Touchdowns
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Dead Touchdowns! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve... our QB was thoroughly overmatched this past week. Our one signal-callers combined for only 18.5 points in Week 15, and the QBs for Klistron Elephants doubled us up with a score of 39.83.
Klistron Elephants
Fortunately, this week's problem is pretty easy to diagnose, Klistron Elephants. Starting Leighton Vander Esch in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up more than 130 points... let's just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
