Smooth Moves by Bullock Bulls!

• Outscoring your opponent is a sure-fire way to win each week. You can thank the Toyota Hall of Fame for that valuable insight.

• The 12.00 points scored by the New York Jets Defense were a season-high.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• Some teams are destined to beat teams like TexasTide and move on to Toyota Hall of Fame greatness. Ironically, you are included in that destiny, because you played yourself.

• Carson Palmer had the lowest point total in the matchup with -2.65 points.
• Brandon Marshall had his lowest score of the season with 5.70 points against a projected 10.88 and has now underachieved in every game this season.
• Jacob Tamme did not meet his 9.84-point projection this week, the first time that's happened this season. His 5.80 points were also a season-low.
