RidgeRunners come up short of expectations, succumb to G'DAWG, 100.26-86.32

There's no way around it, RidgeRunners underperformed, at least according to projections, as G'DAWG came out on top with a 100.26-86.32 victory. G'DAWG leapt out to a 39.06-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout performances from Jared Goff (354 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 14 Rush Yds) and Kareem Hunt (16.4) and never looked back. Mike Evans (6 Rec, 137 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Odell Beckham Jr. (9 Rec, 109 Rec Yds) were the top scorers for RidgeRunners in the loss. G'DAWG (1-2) will look to sustain their winning ways against Cleveland Fan, while RidgeRunners (1-2) will take on Abel Knox in an effort to get back on track.
