Safety Third come up short of expectations, succumb to MKS ReaLech, 115.62-99.64

There's no sugarcoating it, Safety Third underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as MKS ReaLech earned a 115.62-99.64 win. Safety Third grabbed a 25.90-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 23.9 points from Clyde Edwards-Helaire (74 Rush Yds, 44 Rec Yds) and Gerald Everett (6 Rec, 71 Rec Yds). But MKS ReaLech held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Lamar Jackson (45.62 points) and Marquise Brown (10.3). MKS ReaLech (1-1) will look to earn another W against Unicorns, while Safety Third (1-1) match up against Warszawskie Albatrosy in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

MKS ReaLech
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid showing by Lamar Jackson, we thoroughly outplayed Safety Third at the quarterback position this past week (45.62 points to 7.84). Jackson torched the Dolphins secondary by logging 318 yards and three passing touchdowns.
Safety Third
Our quarterback threw three interceptions and just a single touchdown? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here. Were the Eagles actually that great defending the pass, or was Kirk Cousins just that out-of-sync with his receivers? The judgment is yours to make, Safety Third, as you manage your lineup in Week 3 and beyond!
