J's Fabulous Team come up short of expectations, lose to Da Beast in 146.64-98.96 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, J's Fabulous Team dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as Da Beast rolled to a 146.64-98.96 victory. J's Fabulous Team got out to a 11.06-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all Da Beast after that. They were led by Drew Brees, who passed for 346 yards and 4 touchdowns and ran for 16 yards for 39.44 points, and Duke Johnson Jr., who caught 9 passes for 78 yards and 2 touchdowns (29.6 points). The Chicago Bears defense (28 points) and Benjamin Watson (15.2) were the leaders for J's Fabulous Team in defeat. Da Beast (4-5) will look to build on their success against The Bowery Boys, while J's Fabulous Team (5-4) will face Gerry Full Throttle in an effort to get back on track.
