Lee Evans dragged Riley to a 77–50 win, posting 16 points as the only starter who showed up with any urgency. Joel's Philip Rivers led the 9ers with 14 — which is a fine week for a backup quarterback and a brutal week for your best player. Donald Driver went for zero, which is the kind of zero that makes you stare at your lineup for ten minutes wondering what you were thinking. Riley won on the 9th-best score of the week, meaning six other managers put up more points and still lost their games — but none of that matters, because Riley's 2-0 against Joel and the series is starting to feel less like coincidence.
