Antinatural beat Madmen 146.06 to 135.24 and put up the highest score of their season. Antinatural took a 12.06-point lead on Thursday and remained in front for the rest of the matchup. Antinatural has played Madmen well lately, improving to 2-1 head-to-head this season, including a Week 11 comeback (116.58 to 111.18) in their last matchup. Madmen was led by Trey McBride with 30.30 points (123 Rec Yds, 1 TD) and DeVonta Smith, who scored 30.00 (120 Rec Yds, 2 TD).
One slot where Madmen is really kicking themselves is running back. Jaylen Warren could have started in place of Isiah Pacheco, and that point difference would've been enough to win.
For the winners, several players have been heating up in the postseason, including Adam Thielen and Baker Mayfield. During the playoffs, that duo has exceeded their season scoring averages by 218% and 38%, respectively. Conversely, Antinatural has a player heading in the opposite direction. Breece Hall has fallen significantly short of his year-to-date average in the postseason by 30%. Despite the loss, Madmen also had a few players performing their best in the playoffs, most notably Smith and Cameron Dicker. During the postseason, that combo has averaged 20.55 and 13.00 points, respectively, topping their season-long marks by 82% and 41%. On the other hand, the losers had a player who was sputtering under the brightest lights. Averaging 11.80 points on the season, Khalil Shakir mustered just 4.85 per game in the playoffs.
Antinatural wrapped up the regular season in eighth place with a record of 5-10. When considering points per game, they ranked slightly better (sixth with 112.56). In their only other postseason game along the way to winning the consolation trophy, Antinatural took down Mean Machine, 141.32 to 129.30.

In their only other postseason game of the season, Madmen defeated Los Hijos, 105.48 to 98.56.

The 34.56 points scored by Mayfield this week was good enough to rank second among QBs.
