(MyFantasyLeague.com Fantasy Times Sources – Nov 1, 2021) In a week 8 UFFLE intra-divisional contest, the 6-2 Vinny’s Gang beat a mediocre 3-5 Bad Attitudes team by a score of 89.30 to 80.90, silencing a partisan crowd of 66,645.
Vinny’s Gang were led to their 8.40 point victory by a 21.80 point effort from Darrell Henderson, who got by the Houston Texans defense for 90 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD in addition to 3 receiving yards. With this performance, Henderson was the number 3 ranked running back for week 8. They also got help from a 18.30 point effort from Daniel Jones, who got by the Kansas City Chiefs defense for 222 passing yards and 2 passing TDs in addition to 12 rushing yards.
“We’ll use this win as a stepping stone to the next level,” Vinny’s Gang coach Jon Steffan said.
Bad Attitudes were helped out in a losing cause by a 20.50 point effort from Aaron Jones, who snuck past the Arizona Cardinals defense for 59 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD in addition to 51 receiving yards. With this performance, Jones was the number 5 ranked running back for week 8. They also got help from a 12.80 point effort from Diontae Johnson, who got by the Cleveland Browns defense for 98 receiving yards.
“Our defense didn’t show up today,” Bad Attitudes coach Steve Spickenreuther said.
Compounding the issue, Bad Attitudes could have scored 107.80 points and earned the win with their best lineup, but Steve Spickenreuther left key players like Jimmy Garoppolo and his corresponding 29.50 points on the bench.
This brings the record for Vinny’s Gang to 6-2, and drops Bad Attitudes to a record of 3-5.
