The Chiefs and Bucs put on a show on Monday Night football, and the outcome of our league hung in the balance.
In the end, Beth prevailed 395 to 394 as Hunt and Kelce piled up second half points. Beth might have run away with it, had her lineup included an active player in Box E, but it all worked out in the end.
Beth‘s lineup was led by L. Jackson, Cousins, Barkley, B. Robinson, Jefferson, Z. Flowers, Kelce, Tucker and the Bengals D.
I took second, with a 394, thanks to Week 9 lineup featuring L. Jackson, Cousins, Barkley, B. Robinson, Hunt, Jefferson, Hill, Mooney, Aubrey and the Vikings D.
This is Beth‘s first weekly win ever, and it took her only nine weeks to do it, and my first pay day since Week 10 of the 2021 campaign. Congrats to Beth on the strong showing in Week 9.
