The Apes come up short of predictions, lose to Going Nowhere Slow in 135.63-101.99 rout

The Apes failed to rise to the occasion, as Going Nowhere Slow cruised to a 135.63-101.99 win. Going Nowhere Slow pulled out to a 5.00-point lead on Thursday behind Matt Judon and never gave it up. Corey Clement (30 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 55 Rec Yds) and Kevin Byard (7 Tackles) carried the flag for The Apes in the loss.
