Soulard Saints fall short of predictions, lose to Sharp Shooters, 117.28-99.13

There's no way around it, Soulard Saints underperformed, at least based on projections, as Sharp Shooters earned a 117.28-99.13 win. Soulard Saints grabbed a 17.00-point lead on Thursday, but Sharp Shooters held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Clyde Edwards-Helaire (92 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Lamar Jackson (144 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 73 Rush Yds). Derrick Henry (114 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 33 Rec Yds) and Jalen Hurts (204 Pass Yds, 38 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) led the way for Soulard Saints in the loss. Sharp Shooters (3-1) will look to notch another win against Grizz, while Soulard Saints (2-2) meet Tonawanda Crapper in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Sharp Shooters
Whoa, Sharp Shooters, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this victory. Not only did you win by more than 18 points, you also jumped up from eighth place to fifth in the league standings!
Soulard Saints
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 16 targets in Week 4. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched only 10 catches.
