Who Dat come up short of expectations, succumb to hunterqiji in 96.64-70.22 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Who Dat underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as hunterqiji rolled to a 96.64-70.22 win. This matchup was over before it really even started, as hunterqiji leapt out to a 52.54-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout performances from Saquon Barkley (25.7 points) and Josh Allen (20.34). Carson Wentz (228 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and the New York Giants defense (16 Pts Allowed, 288 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers) carried the flag for Who Dat in the loss. This marks the second time this season hunterqiji have knocked off Who Dat, after winning 94.18-89.14 in their last matchup. hunterqiji will look to not lose that winning feeling in the semifinals next week, while Who Dat seek to rebound and lock up a top-6 finish.

Coach Talk

hunterqiji
Hey, this sport is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Fueled by good production from our ball-carriers, our crew certainly took that to heart this past week. We doubled Who Dat up at running back (30.1 points to 12.4). Saquon Barkley (197 total yards and a TD) did most of the heavy lifting, while Peyton Barber chipped in with 44 yards.
Who Dat
"Not seeing enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Who Dat. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 30 times in Week 14. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group recorded only 15 receptions.
