Week 6 recap: Barrels post big win

Barrels owner Chris Traczek filed this report from his rousing win over Serkus:

Serkus Act got out to a quick start in this week's Finks League matchup with the Creighton Barrels as Arian Foster rolled to 17 points on Thursday, but the Barrels responded with their most complete performance in years to storm back for a 78-43 victory. The key to the win was Barrels coach Chris Traczek (finally) getting it right on several coin-flip lineup decisions: starting Cam Newton over Tony Romo at QB, Dan Bailey over Blair Walsh at PK and Ben Tate over Lamar Miller at RB. For perspective, both of there Barrels' losses this season came as a result of the coach starting the wrong PK. It also didn't hurt that GM Chris Traczek reached into owner Chris Traczek's pocketbook and splashed the cash for free-agent TE Julius Thomas, who responded with 2 TDs as erstwhile receiving bell cow Clavin Johnson nursed an "owie."
