Mississippi Kudzu Kings were led to their 13 point victory by a 22 point effort from Brandon Jacobs, who beat the Buffalo Bills defense for 145 rushing yards and 2 rushing TDs in addition to 6 receiving yards. With this performance, Jacobs was the number 5 ranked overall fantasy scorer for week 16. They also got help from a 14 point effort from Randy Moss, who snuck past the Miami Dolphins defense for 50 receiving yards and 2 receiving TDs.

"This team has finally learned how to win," Mississippi Kudzu Kings coach James Hayes said.

Raleigh Brass Monkey were helped out in a losing cause by a 14 point effort from Braylon Edwards, who snuck past the Cincinnati Bengals defense for 52 receiving yards and 2 receiving TDs. With this performance, Edwards was the number 4 ranked wide receiver for week 16. They also got help from a 9 point effort from Nick Folk, who snuck past the Carolina Panthers defense for 2 field goals made and 2 extra points.

"They've had our number all season," Raleigh Brass Monkey coach Jeremy Randolph said.

Compounding the issue, Raleigh Brass Monkey could have scored 77 points and earned the win with their best lineup, but Jeremy Randolph left key players like Laurence Maroney and his corresponding 16 points on the bench.

Raleigh Brass Monkey drew the short straw with their schedule this week, as their point total would have resulted in a win against 14 out of 14 other potential opponents in week 16.

This brings the record for Mississippi Kudzu Kings to 7-5-1, and drops Raleigh Brass Monkey to a record of 8-4-1.
