The stellar outings by a dynamic duo of Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Baker Mayfield and Bucky Irving) led the way for Justin. They overpowered Rollo 146.86 to 101.50. That tandem teamed up to tally 57.56 points in the triumph. Mayfield passed for five touchdowns (359 Pas Yds, 5 TD) to contribute 34.56 points, while Irving (113 Rsh Yds, 77 Rec Yds) pitched in 23.00. Justin took a 5.50-point lead on Thursday and never looked back. Justin gets revenge for a Week 14 loss (85.90 to 76.10) and improves to 2-1 this season against Rollo. This is the third consecutive week Justin has improved upon their previous week's point total. They got 126.50 points two weeks ago, 132.86 last week, and 146.86 this week. On top of the loss, Rollo had a starter score zero points (Zamir White).
There was one starter on Justin that left points out on the field. Despite being targeted seven times, George Pickens could manage just three catches.
For the winners, several players have been heating up in the postseason, most notably Jake Elliott and Irving. During the playoffs, that duo has surpassed their season scoring averages by 84% and 51%, respectively. Conversely, Justin has two players moving in the wrong direction. George Pickens and Breece Hall have both fallen well beneath their year-to-date averages during the postseason. Despite the loss, Rollo also had a few players performing their best in the playoffs, including Patrick Mahomes and Cameron Dicker. During the postseason, that combo has averaged 24.85 and 13.00 points, respectively, topping their season-long marks by 45% and 41%. On the other hand, the losers had a pair of players who struggled in the playoff spotlight: the Dallas Cowboys DEF and Cooper Kupp.
