GOOD TIMES lose to Highland Bashers in 115.40-93.64 landslide

There's no easy way to say it, GOOD TIMES didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Highland Bashers cruised to a 115.40-93.64 victory. GOOD TIMES took a 9.60-point lead on Thursday, but Highland Bashers held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Jalen Hurts, who passed for 315 yards and ran for 61 yards and 3 touchdowns for 36.7 points, and Derrick Henry, who racked up 163 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown (24.3 points). Christian McCaffrey (22.8 points) and Ja'Marr Chase (15.5) carried the flag for GOOD TIMES in the loss. This marks the first time this season Highland Bashers have beaten GOOD TIMES, after falling 107.2-68.8 in their last matchup. Highland Bashers (10-5) will look to keep it rolling in the playoffs, while GOOD TIMES (10-5) will attempt to bounce back and make a run of their own in the postseason.

Coach Talk

Highland Bashers
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a sound display by Jalen Hurts, we nearly tripled GOOD TIMES at the quarterback position this past week (36.7 points to 12.64). Hurts went 22-for-37 for 315 yards in a 25-20 victory over the Bears.
GOOD TIMES
Unless GOOD TIMES wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 17 times in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group hauled in only 10 receptions.
