The three-headed monster of Joe Burrow, Malik Nabers, and DeVonta Smith carried the team, as Chris humiliated Michael 160.68 to 104.14. That threesome combined to score 103.08 points, winning the battle against the top scorers from Michael (Jahmyr Gibbs, Tyreek Hill, and Kyler Murray), who totaled 61.84 points. Burrow passed for 412 yards, accounting for 36.98 points (412 Pas Yds, 25 Rsh Yds, 3 Pas TD, 1 Rsh TD). Meanwhile, Nabers came through with 171 receiving yards (36.10 points) and Smith scored two touchdowns (30.00 points). Burrow also recorded the second-highest point total in the league this week, with Nabers tallying the third-highest point total in the league this week. With 160.68 points, Chris had the seventh-best total in the league this season.
Michael had one noticeable starter that left points out on the field. Despite being targeted seven times, Terry McLaurin could only reel in one catch.
Chris was on another level with their wideouts, as they started two of the league's top-10 overall WRs this week (including Nabers, who was third-best overall).
For the winners, a few players have been heating up in the postseason, most notably Smith and T.J. Hockenson. During the playoffs, that duo has exceeded their season scoring averages by 82% and 72%, respectively. On the other hand, Chris has a pair of players trending the opposite way. Tyler Allgeier and Breece Hall have both fallen well beneath their year-to-date averages during the postseason.
