Jamaal Williams was added to Unnecessary Muffness just days before Sweaty Bowl VIII began, but ended up being a major factor in the teams' first ever Sweaty Bowl victory. Williams, who was playing in the Flex position for Unnecessary Muffness, scored 21.60 points which was the second highest score by a player in the Sweaty Bowl matchup and Williams personal highest score of the 2018 season.

Although, in the end it was not enough, Yo D Wreck This' Jaylon Smith put up the single highest IDP score in Sweaty Bowl history with a tally of 19.50. This also goes down as the highest score by an IDP in playoff history. At the time it was played, the 1 TD - 10 Tackle game by Smith looked as if it might be a turning point for Yo D Wreck This. As the games progressed into Sunday evening it soon became clear that even with Smith's lights out performance there wouldn't be enough points for Yo D Wreck This to challenge Unnecessary Muffness.

While Kirk Cousins Sweaty Bowl VIII score of 22.22 points wasn't setting any record books on fire, it was well above Cousins 2018 average and in a game where Unnecessary Muffness seemed to just need consistency to close out the victory, their quarterback gave them just that. Yo D Wreck This also failed to match Cousins' score with an adequate score of their own, posting up a particularly low 12.14 from Michael Trubisky.
