Last Undefeated Fantasy Football Team Goes Down, 1972 Miami Dolphins Relieved

Fantasy football team "Stafford for MVP" has finally entered the loss column, as the team couldn't overcome bye weeks from some of their key players and five touchdown passes from Carson Palmer. "Stafford for MVP" started the season 6-0 but lost in an upset to division rival "He Hate Me" to fall to 6-1.

"We stayed in the fight, guys didn't blink when Stafford for MVP made a late push Sunday night and to our credit, we were able to win the game" said "He Hate Me" head coach Mike Jaeger. "When your quarterback throws five touchdown passes, your wide receiver goes for 110 yards and a touchdown in London, and your defense only allows 10 points, you normally win the game if you hold your opponent to a respectable amount of points."

"Stafford for MVP" scored enough points to win a typical week, however gave up way too many points to Carson Palmer, Wes Welker, and the entire Cincinnati Bengals defense. They will have plenty of film to review this week so they can see which positions they can improve on. Plenty of players are on the trading block and on the waiver wire in the league, as every player on "Stafford for MVP" should feel stressed out about possibly being dropped, except those that are considered undroppable by Yahoo.

After the match, head coach Kyle Lumpquist realizing the negative feeling the players would have this tough loss, walked around the locker room talking to every player. Players such as Drew Brees, Dwayne Bowe and Kellen Winslow looked frustrated, but know that fantasy football luckily isn't like college football so there's still plenty of football left to be played.

Fans have already come down hard on Head Coach, Kyle Lumpquist for some of his moves this week. "How can you possibly start the Oakland Raiders defense?" said one fan on an internet message board, while others questioned starting Kellen Winslow against the New England Patriots. Some fans second-guessed Kyle's decision to start LaDainian Tomlinson over Beanie Wells, as Wells did outscore Tomlinson on Sunday and would have made the difference in the outcome of the week.

"Stafford for MVP" is still 6-1 in the season and holds their own destiny for one of six playoff spots. They have a very important matchup next week against KillMeIfCarrComesIn, a team that scores lots of points but has had a hard time holding onto leads when everything is tallied up on Monday nights.
