Gashouse knock off The King in 197.44-136.42 rout

Gashouse brought their A game and outperformed expectations, rolling to a 197.44-136.42 win over The King, who fell short of projections. There wasn't much drama in this one, as Gashouse jumped out to a 73.02-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind impressive performances from Patrick Mahomes and Stefon Diggs. Mahomes passed for 326 yards and 6 touchdowns and ran for 18 yards for 50.84 points, while Diggs caught 9 passes for 128 yards and 2 touchdowns (35.9 points). Todd Gurley II (42 Rush Yds, 3 Rush TDs, 31 Rec Yds) and Michael Thomas (12 Rec, 89 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) carried the flag for The King in the loss. Gashouse (1-1) will look to build on their success against The Little Dingy's, while The King (1-1) try to get some positive momentum against KLMB-RKS.
