Covid Kingdom fall short of predictions, succumb to IllegalALIENs in 106.12-75.90 drubbing

There's no easy way to say it, Covid Kingdom underperformed, at least based on projections, as IllegalALIENs cruised to a 106.12-75.90 win. Covid Kingdom nabbed a 1.1-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all IllegalALIENs after that. They were led by Patrick Mahomes (338 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 21 Rush Yds) and Leonard Fournette (63 Rush Yds, 38 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Lamar Jackson (210 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 77 Rush Yds) and Travis Kelce (8 Rec, 108 Rec Yds) were the leaders for Covid Kingdom in the loss. IllegalALIENs (4-2) will look to keep it rolling against Birdzilla, while Covid Kingdom (5-1) will take on Eat it! in an effort to develop some positive momentum.

Coach Talk

IllegalALIENs
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart by tripling Covid Kingdom at running back this past week (34.2 points to 10.5).
Covid Kingdom
Like the NFL's tackling rules, remember to keep your head up, Covid Kingdom! You can feel good knowing that your generosity couldn't have gone unnoticed. It takes a true winner to help someone like IllegalALIENs succeed this week... and when the time comes, perhaps they'll return the favor by selecting a couple of defenses early in the 2023 draft, something along those lines.
