Losing a close game is tough. Losing a close playoff game is brutal. GTL 9 suffered a 72.85 to 73.85 loss to FishHead II 10. The two teams combined to score the fewest points this season.
GTL 9 will finish their season at 10 - 6. The win makes it five in a row for FishHead II 10, which gives them a 11 - 5 record.
Three players (Randall Cobb, Le'Veon Bell, and Mark Ingram) delivered victory to FishHead II 10, getting 37.8 of their team's 73.8 points. Bell has now gone five weeks without dipping below the average running back's points. Not only has he been hot recently, but overall he is the 3rd best player in the league.
Despite winning, FishHead II 10 struggled to score points due to seven underperforming players, of whom Donte Moncrief (0.5 points) was the worst. Moncrief might be heading back to the waiver wire after getting picked up before this game.
Meanwhile, GTL 9 had many underperformers, but Andrew Luck stood out, posting only 3.5 points. Luck needed help in more than just the trash talking department on Sunday, as he was limited to 109 yards and threw two interceptions in the blowout loss to the Cowboys.
Jeremy Maclin has to share in some of the blame as well, coming up with 7 fewer points than he was expected to. It's yet another disappointing day for Maclin, who has now underperformed the experts' predictions in five straight games. GTL 9 only had one player who gave a passable performance this week, with Joique Bell scoring 14.7 points.
