I like cox hand Jon's meth lab employees fourth consecutive loss, 167.53-148.37

I like cox emerged victorious with a 167.53-148.37 win to hand Jon's meth lab employees their fourth straight loss. Jon's meth lab employees earned a 24.70-point lead on Thursday, but I like cox held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Alvin Kamara, who racked up 158 yards from scrimmage and scored 3 touchdowns for 44.8 points, and DeAndre Hopkins, who caught 12 passes for 159 yards and a touchdown (33.9 points). The New Orleans Saints defense (0 Pts Allowed, 183 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers) and Tee Higgins (3 Rec, 49 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) carried the flag for Jon's meth lab employees in the loss. I like cox (6-2) will look to add to their success against Olivia's Outstanding Team, while Jon's meth lab employees (3-5) will face Kinch Killing Kids in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

I like cox
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Case in point: we really took that to heart by thoroughly overpowering Jon's meth lab employees at running back this past week (61 points to 12.6).
Jon's meth lab employees
With only four receptions this past week, the starting running backs for Jon's meth lab employees should investigate why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
