Mountain Climbing Jellyfish fall short of predictions, still manage to knock off Team Nasty in 103.26-78.64 runaway

Both teams fell short of their projected point totals, but Mountain Climbing Jellyfish did enough to knock off Team Nasty, rolling to a 103.26-78.64 victory. Team Nasty grabbed a 16.70-point lead on Thursday behind stellar efforts from Najee Harris, who ran for 56 yards and a touchdown for 11.6 points, and Pat Freiermuth, who caught 2 passes for 41 yards (5.1 points). But it was all Mountain Climbing Jellyfish after that. They were led by Saquon Barkley (81 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 45 Rec Yds) and the Philadelphia Eagles defense (8 Pts Allowed, 240 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers). Mountain Climbing Jellyfish (1-2) will look to earn another W against Rodney's Optimal Team, while Team Nasty (1-2) will try to get back on track against Nasty biters.

Coach Talk

Mountain Climbing Jellyfish
Yo, Mountain Climbing Jellyfish, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this blowout. Not only did you win by 24.62 points, you also climbed from 10th place to eighth in the league standings. Nice job!
Team Nasty
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 3. With only nine total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
