Rando Rick find way to knock off The Bloody Nine in 119.34-93.30 rout despite falling short of expectations

Both teams fell short of expectations, but Rando Rick did enough to knock off The Bloody Nine, cruising to a 119.34-93.30 win. The Bloody Nine nabbed a 10.00-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Rando Rick after that. They were led by Joe Mixon (111 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 27 Rec Yds) and Tyreek Hill (8 Rec, 139 Rec Yds). Rob Gronkowski (8 Rec, 107 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Philip Rivers (220 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) carried the flag for The Bloody Nine in defeat. This marks the first time this season Rando Rick have taken down The Bloody Nine, after falling 146.54-135.88 in their last matchup. Rando Rick will look to not lose that winning feeling in the semifinals next week, while The Bloody Nine seek to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

Rando Rick
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Chris Boswell might have just toe-bashed himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
The Bloody Nine
Unless The Bloody Nine wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 38 targets in Week 14. With just 21 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
