Traeway34 come up short of predictions, lose to Charknado, 91.72-83.80

There's no way around it, Traeway34 underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Charknado rallied to earn a 91.72-83.80 win. Trailing 83.80-75.92 heading into Monday night, Charknado roared back behind Jonathan Taylor, who racked up 98 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 15.8 points. Joe Burrow (270 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 32 Rush Yds) and Saquon Barkley (39 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 13 Rec Yds) carried the flag for Traeway34 in defeat. This marks the first time this season Charknado have knocked off Traeway34, after falling 104.5-65.66 in their last matchup. Charknado (4-8) will look to build on their success against Silver Fox, while Traeway34 (7-5) match up against cheeseheads in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Charknado
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Traeway34 at the wide receiver position (22.7 points to 9.7).
Traeway34
Take my word for it (as a coach who's frequently lived life on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that volunteer Assistant Coaching gig available at the local high school down the road! Just like the league's tackling rules, remember to keep your head up, Traeway34!
