Jars Raiduhs come up short of projections, succumb to Big Blue, 135.03-114.30

There's no easy way to say it, Jars Raiduhs didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Big Blue earned a 135.03-114.30 victory. Big Blue nabbed an early 23.30-point lead on Thursday. Jars Raiduhs came back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by Jalen Hurts (46.1 points) and Diontae Johnson (15). Unphased, Big Blue rallied later that night, as Saquon Barkley (20.5 points) put them back in the lead for good. This marks the second time this season Big Blue have beaten Jars Raiduhs, after falling 123.37-91.7 in their last matchup. Big Blue will look to keep the streak alive in the Championship next week, while Jars Raiduhs seek to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Big Blue
This sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our backfield put up 124 more total yards than the RBs of Jars Raiduhs (276 yards from scrimmage to 152), and we ended up doubling up them at the position, 36.6 points to 17.7.
Jars Raiduhs
Just one make on three field goal tries? Seems like Justin Tucker might have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
