With this performance, Williams was the number 1 ranked overall fantasy scorer for week 16. They also got help from a 15.0 point effort from the Tennessee Titans Defensive Team.

"We got a wake-up call," Sicilian Death Match coach Art Walker said.

Adding salt to the wound, Sicilian Death Match could have scored 115.7 points and earned the win with their best lineup, but Art Walker left key players like Derrick Ward and his corresponding 21.5 points on the bench.

Sicilian Death Match drew the short straw with their schedule this week, as their point total would have resulted in a win against 9 out of 10 other potential opponents in week 16.

This brings the record for Born To Run to 7-6, and drops Sicilian Death Match to a record of 8-5.
