Bradshaws Bombers smirk at expectations, knock off Dan Marino in 154.44-117.54 rout

Bradshaws Bombers stepped up and outperformed their projected point total, cruising to a 154.44-117.54 victory over Dan Marino, which fell short of projections. Dan Marino grabbed a 7.8-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Bradshaws Bombers after that. They were led by DeSean Jackson (33.1 points) and James Conner (32.2). The Jacksonville Jaguars defense (15 Pts Allowed, 324 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) and A.J. Green (6 Rec, 92 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did everything they could for Dan Marino in the loss. Bradshaws Bombers (1-0) will look to maintain their winning ways against Earl Campbell, while Dan Marino (0-1) seek to get back on track against The Thurmanator.
