GM Salomone Grinds Out Win Despite Season-Low Performance, Improves to 8-4

November 25, 2024 – It wasn’t pretty, but GM Salomone managed to secure a win in Week 12 despite putting up one of his lowest scores of the season, finishing with just 104.38 points. While his typically reliable stars Derrick "Oil" Henry and Christian McCaffrey (CMC) underperformed, Salomone did enough to edge out GM Meyer and improve to 8-4, keeping his playoff position secure.

Henry and CMC Held in Check

Derrick Henry, who has been a cornerstone of Salomone’s team, posted a pedestrian 14 points, failing to find the end zone for the first time all season. His rushing totals were respectable, but without a touchdown, Henry couldn’t deliver his usual fantasy dominance.

Adding to Salomone’s struggles was Christian McCaffrey, who was held to just 7.8 points in a quiet game. The star running back couldn’t get going on the ground or through the air, leaving Salomone with a rare week where his backfield wasn’t the foundation of his success.

“It was a tough week for the big guys,” Salomone admitted. “Henry and CMC have carried us all season, and even though they didn’t have their best games, the rest of the team found a way to get it done.”

Scrappy Win Against GM Meyer

Despite the underwhelming performance from his stars, Salomone’s team managed to grind out a win thanks to contributions from his role players and Meyer’s equally quiet week. While it wasn’t the dominant showing fans have come to expect from Salomone’s squad, it was enough to get the job done.

“A win is a win, no matter how ugly it is,” Salomone said. “We’ve had big weeks, and we’ve had weeks like this, but the important thing is finding a way to come out on top.”

A Critical Milestone

The win not only improves Salomone’s record to 8-4 but also solidifies his position as one of the league’s top contenders. With just a few weeks left in the regular season, Salomone’s ability to pull off wins, even in tough weeks, is a testament to the depth and resilience of his team.

“It’s not always about putting up the most points,” Salomone said. “Sometimes it’s about grinding out those tough wins, and that’s what we did this week.”

GM Salomone’s squad may have faced adversity, but their ability to secure this victory cements their reputation as one of the toughest teams in the league to beat.
