DITKA find way to top Packerbackers in 88.54-87.48 squeaker

Despite failing to bring their A game, DITKA narrowly earned an 88.54-87.48 win over Packerbackers. Packerbackers had a chance to come from behind late afternoon on Sunday, but they came up short. DITKA led 61.04-58.68 after the early action and held on for the win despite 15.9 points from Chuba Hubbard on Sunday afternoon for Packerbackers. DITKA were led by Ja'Marr Chase, who caught 10 passes for 119 yards and a touchdown for 18.5 points, and Deshaun Watson, who passed for 276 yards and a touchdown and ran for 33 yards (17.34 points). This marks the first time this season DITKA have gotten the best of Packerbackers, after falling 86.2-68.16 in their last matchup. DITKA ends the season on a high note, but they'll miss the postseason with a record of 7-7. Packerbackers (8-6) will attempt to bounce back from this loss in the playoffs.

Coach Talk

DITKA
We can't overemphasize just how critical tight victories like this can be for the locker room. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit group... we expect the DITKA team chemistry to be stronger than ever heading into Week 15.
Packerbackers
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 19 times in Week 14. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group hauled in just 11 balls.
