There's no way around it, For_Champion underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Jaymin emerged victorious with an 86.48-62.78 victory. Jaymin jumped out to a 27.42-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding performances from Brandin Cooks (7 Rec, 102 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and the Dallas Cowboys defense (16) and never looked back. Kyler Murray (257 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) and Justin Jefferson (4 Rec, 47 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the way for For_Champion in the loss. This marks the second time this season Jaymin have taken down For_Champion, after winning 102.08-102 in their last matchup. Jaymin will look to clinch the league title next week, while For_Champion attempt to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.

Coach Talk

Jaymin
Nice work, Jaymin. Bravo on deploying a lineup that won by 23.7 points this past week.
For_Champion
With just a couple of catches this past week, the starting running backs for For_Champion should remind their quarterbacks to dump it off more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
