Back-and-forth battle ends with Bloodlust coming back to top Jon Gruden in 84.73-50.33 rout

What a battle! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, Bloodlust earned a convincing victory over Jon Gruden, rolling to an 84.73-50.33 win. Jon Gruden got out to an early 0.50-point lead on Thursday. Bloodlust came back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by stellar performances from Bobby Okereke (9.5 points) and Michael Thomas (9.25). Not to be deterred, Jon Gruden made a run later that afternoon to take a 0.18-point lead behind Maxx Crosby (5.75 points) and Jessie Bates III (3). But Bloodlust came back again at the last minute on Monday night, as Josh Allen (29.78 points) and Derrick Henry (7.25) put them back in the lead for good. Bloodlust (2-0) will look to rack up another W against Blade Executioner, while Jon Gruden (0-2) will try to right the ship against The Ga(y)iders.

Coach Talk

Bloodlust
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid outing by Josh Allen, we nearly tripled Jon Gruden at the quarterback position this past week (29.78 points to 9.98). Allen went 26-for-38 for 317 yards and four TDs in a 41-7 triumph over the Titans.
Jon Gruden
Well, Jon Gruden, this week's problem is pretty easy to spot. Choosing to start Dalton Schultz in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 84.73 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
