Rolling Along
Results: Rookie 158 VS Mudders 75 Christian McCaffrey and The Rookie take down Mad Mudders for their 5th win in a row The Rookie had the best running backs coming into this game, and they came through for Coach Sam Zarr once again. The Rookie ran their way to a 158 to 75 win over Mad Mudders. Christian McCaffrey scored 42 points, while Kyren Williams scored 23. A good performance by McCaffrey has been critical for The Rookie this season, as they have gone 8 – 1 when he exceeds his expectations, and 2 – 3 when he doesn't. The Rookie also got a better-than-expected performance from Brock Purdy, who beat his projections by 23.2 points. Pinpoint accuracy like this is one of the (many) reasons Purdy is the MVP-favorite. Mad Mudders, meanwhile, were having a terrible time moving the ball down the field, with the whole team gaining only 214 yards. Mad Mudders were practicing their manners as they put every other team ahead of themselves in the RuReYd category this week. Derrick Henry was the main culprit, gaining only 10 total yards. The win brings The Rookie's winning streak to five games, and gives them a record of 10 – 5. Mad Mudders will finish their season at 7 – 8. Predictions: The Mudders finished in 3rd place in the South at 7-7 while the Rookie finished in 2nd place in North at 9-5. Key question is this matchup is the health of Justin Jefferson, he was hurt last week, taken to the hospital, will he be out? |
