DaBears beat projections, defeat Ibbyszn in 103.82-69.80 romp

DaBears rose to the occasion, rolling to a 103.82-69.80 win over Ibbyszn, who fell short of projections. Ibbyszn got out to a 10.30-point lead on Thursday, but it was all DaBears after that. They were led by Miles Sanders (143 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 17 Rec Yds) and Geno Smith (328 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 22 Rush Yds). Jason Sanders (3-3 FG, 45 long, 3-3 XP) and Aaron Rodgers (140 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) carried the flag for Ibbyszn in the loss. This marks the first time this season DaBears have beaten Ibbyszn, after falling 78.9-59.56 in their last matchup. DaBears (3-9) will look to keep it rolling against Savage Ebiker beat Commish, while Ibbyszn (5-7) attempt to generate some positive momentum against VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

Coach Talk

DaBears
Heckuva job shrugging off that two-match losing streak, DaBears! Every fantasy GM is met with adversity somewhere along the way... continue to keep your eyes out for what challenges lie ahead.
Ibbyszn
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a respectable 27 targets in Week 12. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in just 16 balls.
