New World Order fall short of expectations, lose to General Jakobi, 208.34-184.04

New World Order were unable to rise to the occasion, coming up short of projections, as General Jakobi came from behind to earn a 208.34-184.04 victory. General Jakobi trailed 184.04-180.54 heading into Monday night, but the team staged a comeback behind Josh Jacobs, who racked up 193 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 27.8 points. Breece Hall (97 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 100 Rec Yds) and Kirk Cousins (296 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) led the way for New World Order in the loss. General Jakobi (3-2) will look to sustain their momentum against Mahomes' Marauders, while New World Order (1-4) take on Living on Burrowed Time in an effort to generate some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

General Jakobi
Hey, we admire the confidence, General Jakobi. It takes moxie to roll out a player with zero points (DeVante Parker), while still earning the win! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
New World Order
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 30 times in Week 5. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they hauled in only 15 catches.
