Despite top scorer Burrow, Clark Kent fall to The Footballas, 184.52-170.84

Joe Burrow accumulated 37.28 points for Clark Kent, the best total in the matchup and seventh-highest in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome The Footballas, who emerged victorious with a 184.52-170.84 win. The Footballas jumped out to a 72.13-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 44.88 points from the San Francisco 49ers defense (13 Pts Allowed, 277 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers) and Noah Fant (5 Rec, 32 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and never looked back. Joe Burrow (200 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and Saquon Barkley (87 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 33 Rec Yds) led the way for Clark Kent in the loss. This marks the first time this season The Footballas have beaten Clark Kent, after falling 169.36-150.53 in their last matchup. The Footballas will look to clinch the league title next week, while Clark Kent seek to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

The Footballas
Earning the win is most important, The Footballas, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team; our QB was clearly outclassed this past week. Joe Burrow went 27-of-39 for 200 yards and four touchdowns for Clark Kent, and all Geno Smith could manage through the air was 238 yards and one passing TD.
Clark Kent
Only two makes on four field goal attempts? Seems like Cade York may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance.
