Ultimate Maniacs succumb to Lorne's Team, 97.82-73.02

There's no way around it, Ultimate Maniacs dropped the ball, at least based on projections, as Lorne's Team earned a 97.82-73.02 win. Ultimate Maniacs leapt out to a 15.72-point lead on Thursday behind Cam Newton, who passed for 193 yards and 2 touchdowns. But Lorne's Team held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Aaron Jones (145 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 27 Rec Yds) and Tyreek Hill (20 Rush Yds, 117 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Lorne's Team (4-5) will look to sustain their winning ways against Baby Slingers, while Ultimate Maniacs (7-2) face Randall DeNeutte in an effort to generate some positive momentum.
