Blitzburgh fall short of projections, lose to Rebellion, 110.3-91.9

There's no sugarcoating it, Blitzburgh didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as Rebellion came from behind for a 110.3-91.9 victory. Trailing 91.9-89.7 heading into Monday night, Rebellion came storming back behind Saquon Barkley (81 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 45 Rec Yds). Joe Burrow (23 points) and Derrick Henry (22.8) did their part for Blitzburgh in the loss. Rebellion (2-1) will look to rack up another W against Aussig Ravens, while Blitzburgh (1-2) will face High Fives in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Rebellion
Bravo on deploying a starting crew that won by more than 18 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's maintain this momentum as we roll into what might be a winnable matchup in Week 4.
Blitzburgh
Blitzburgh may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 25 targets in Week 3. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they reeled in just 15 receptions.
