Unable to overcome multiple busts, Dirty 54 fall to Patriot Killer in 202.15-198.85 duel

Hindered by two starters who put up goose eggs (DeVante Parker and Michael Pittman Jr.), Dirty 54 were unable to overcome Patriot Killer, which came back for a 202.15-198.85 victory. Patriot Killer trailed 184.65-123.85 heading into Monday night, but the team came storming back behind Stefon Diggs (12 Rec, 148 Rec Yds, 3 Rec TDs) and the Minnesota Vikings defense (24 Pts Allowed, 486 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers). Tyreek Hill (42 points) and Trevor Lawrence (24.85) led the way for Dirty 54 in defeat. Patriot Killer (2-0) will look to add to their success against LIONPWR, while Dirty 54 (0-2) will try to develop some positive momentum against Doc's Devils.

Coach Talk

Patriot Killer
It cannot be overstated just how important tight wins like this can be for the locker room. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit unit... look for the Patriot Killer team chemistry to be stronger than ever entering Week 3.
Dirty 54
Fortunately, Dirty 54, this week's problem is fairly easy to diagnose. Choosing to start DeVante Parker and Michael Pittman Jr. in what wound up being a tight fantasy matchup... let's use this as an opportunity to get better and agree that it won't happen again.
