All Bench Team

Team of the Week

Hurricanes started us off with a 31.70 lead from Player of the Week Aaron Rodgers in Thursday Night action…after Sunday Morning games they were the only Franchise over 100 points…and after the Sunday Afternoon session they still held the top slot with a finalized win over 2nd Place Gorilla Warfare 122.80 to 116.75…Runs N Throses was kicked along by 12.20 points from Will Lutz on Sunday Night action to finish just short of the lead at 121.65…Husslers sat back in 5th place with 108.05 but with both Joe Mixon and JuJu Smith-Schuster still to play…JuJu only managed 3 catches for 15 yards…with no points earned at all in the 2nd half…Joe Mixon plodded along with only 1 play over 10 yards on the night…he caught a pass for no gain to close out the 3rd Quarter with Husslers still trailing Hurricanes but in a dead tie in his head-2-head match with Runs N Throses at 121.65 points…his next 3 plays were a rush for no gain (+0), a reception for -1 yard (+0.9) and with 11:55 on the clock a rush for 3 yards (+0.3) to finish ahead of Hurricanes by 0.05 points…he was then replaced by Gio Bernard…and did not get another snap in the game…

122.85 points it is the highest Week 4 score Husslers have ever posted (117|2011)…and it is their 1st Team of the Week earned in Week 4 of a season…they are now tied with their own Franchise Record for most TOTW in a season (2|2017) …it is their 7th title earned as a Franchise in 108 Regular Season games Played for a Champ Rate of 6.48%

Chump of the Week

After disappointing scores from Engram, Ingram, and Mack in Sunday A.M. action….X-Factor started on the bottom rung of the Week 4 ladder at 22.40 points…but facing Fudgie Whales in their head-2-head game…the Carvel Crew had tapped out at 47.90 with all position players done for the day…they only managed 1 more point from the Minnesota Vikings Defense in the Afternoon Session and went into Monday Night with a sub-50 48.90 score…with 13 of 18 roster spots scoring under 10 points…11 Field Goals from Chris Boswell still would not have been enough to catch Da Bears…and they stay in last place with only 58.80 points on the Week…it is the 4th lowest score in their Franchise history…their lowest ever score and their 1st ever Chump of the Week award earned in Week 4 of a Season (76|2011)…it has been 7 games since they last earned the award in Week 10 of 2018…it is their 15th COTW title earned as a Franchise in 147 Regular Season games played for a Chump Rate of 10.20%…

Average scoring took a major hit in Week 4 dropping over 9 points to its lowest level in over 17 weeks at 102.44…only Da Bears repeated from Week 3 below the league average line…with X-Factor, Bubba Army, and Fudgie Whales falling back behind the pace…the Fudgie Whales Chump Score knocks them out of the 2019 competition…this marks their earliest ever exit from the Chump Survivor game…having made the finals 3 times and winning our last held tournament in 2016…

Notes & Numbers

The New England Patriots have not played a single snap while trailing thru 4 games played…

The Top-4 Quarterbacks for Touchdowns thrown after Week 3 (Mahomes|10…Prescott|9…Ryan|8..and Brady|7) combined for 0 Touchdowns in Week 4…

Da Bears 82.50 to 86.40 loss to Bubba Army…with the 0 taken for the 4th week in a row from their Kicker as mentioned last week…and more importantly the options of Hooper and Howard left on the bench…gives the Franchise their 1st ever Coulda Won game…

Runs N Throses loss to Husslers extends their current losing streak to 9 Games…a new Franchise Record…tied for the 5th longest streak of all time…

BAT extends their streak of 100+ point games to 17…averaging 144.80 over that span…their previous long streak was 8 games (2015 Week 7 thru 2016 Week 1)…which of course made me go research what the longest such streak is for each Franchise…

Hurricanes holds the record with a 24 game stretch between 2011|Wk09 and 2013|Wk06…If we cheat the rules a bit…Gorilla Warfare had a stretch of 21 Games from 2010|Wk13 to 2012|WK07 scoring 98 twice and 99 1 time in that span…and X-Factor is currently on a streak of 10 Games from 2018|Wk08 scoring at least 99.55 points…
