O'Well knock off Murphatron in 168.82-135.88 rout

O'Well showed up, rolling to a 168.82-135.88 victory over Murphatron, who fell short of projections. Murphatron nabbed a 33.88-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 73.08 points from Cam Newton (247 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 33 Rush Yds) and Travis Kelce (7 Rec, 99 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). But it was all O'Well after that. They were led by Deshaun Watson, who passed for 213 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran for 38 yards for 41.32 points, and Kareem Hunt, who racked up 141 yards from scrimmage and scored 3 touchdowns (33.1 points). O'Well (5-4) will look to sustain their momentum against Flaming Aces, while Murphatron (3-6) will attempt to get back on track against Noah's team.
