*Adderbury Axemen were led to their 4.40 point victory by a 30.55 point effort from Drew Brees, who tore apart the Detroit Lions defense for 351 passing yards and 2 passing TDs. They also got help from a 23.90 point effort from Marques Colston, who got by the Detroit Lions defense for 99 receiving yards and 2 receiving TDs.

"This was a confidence booster," *Adderbury Axemen coach Mark Paterson said.

*DoCoMo1 were helped out in a losing cause by a 33.95 point effort from Jay Cutler, who tore apart the Buffalo Bills defense for 359 passing yards in addition to 30 rushing yards. With this performance, Cutler was the number 5 ranked overall fantasy scorer for week 16. They also got help from a 16.30 point effort from Antonio Gates, who snuck past the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense for 43 receiving yards and 2 receiving TDs.

"We shot ourselves in the foot," *DoCoMo1 coach David W. Wang said.

Compounding the issue, *DoCoMo1 could have scored 134.65 points and earned the win with their best lineup, but David W. Wang left key players like Derrick Mason and his corresponding 14.60 points on the bench.

*DoCoMo1 drew the short straw with their schedule this week, as their point total would have resulted in a win against 8 out of 10 other potential opponents in week 16.

This brings the record for *Adderbury Axemen to 11-5, and drops *DoCoMo1 to a record of 10-5.
