Simmons fall short of predictions, succumb to Doo Doo Browns, 94.20-85.95

Simmons failed to rise to the occasion, coming up short of projections, as Doo Doo Browns rallied to earn a 94.20-85.95 win. Doo Doo Browns trailed 85.95-75.90 heading into Monday night, but the unit roared back behind Stephen Gostkowski (4-5 FG, 40 long, 1-1 XP) and Rob Gronkowski (3 Rec, 43 Rec Yds). Patrick Mahomes (303 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and Aaron Jones (86 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) did everything they could for Simmons in defeat. Doo Doo Browns (4-4) will look to keep it rolling against Hug It Out Bitch, while Simmons (6-2) will face Barely Legal in an effort to get back in the win column.
