Hogie's Hero's fall short of predictions, succumb to My Team in 679.4-471.3 drubbing

There's no way around it, Hogie's Hero's dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as My Team cruised to a 679.4-471.3 victory. Hogie's Hero's got out to a 10.7-point lead on Thursday, but it was all My Team after that. They were led by Josh Allen, who passed for 297 yards , ran for 56 yards and scored 4 touchdowns for 115.4 points, and Devin White, who made 8 tackles and recorded 2 sacks (101 points). The Buffalo Bills defense (10 Pts Allowed, 243 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers) and Kyler Murray (193 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 29 Rush Yds) carried the flag for Hogie's Hero's in the loss. My Team (1-0) will look to keep it rolling against Eau Rouge Poutine Co, while Hogie's Hero's (0-1) will face off against Pogues Mahone in an effort to get their first win.

Coach Talk

My Team
Wow, the Rams secondary didn't stand a chance! 26 completions on 31 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 84% for Josh Allen. We know the GM of My Team has to be thankful for that attention to detail.
Hogie's Hero's
With one reception on only two measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Hogie's Hero's should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more frequently.
