Donnie Football fall short of predictions, succumb to Silly Nannies in 122.06-89.50 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Donnie Football didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Silly Nannies cruised to a 122.06-89.50 victory. It didn't take long to learn who would have the advantage in the matchup, as Silly Nannies earned a 36.16-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 55.26 points from Patrick Mahomes (314 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Adrian Peterson (120 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs). Cam Newton (150 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 36 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and Justin Tucker (2-3 FG, 52 long, 3-3 XP) did everything they could for Donnie Football in defeat. Silly Nannies (2-1) will look to keep it rolling against Little Machines, while Donnie Football (1-2) will attempt to right the ship against The Empire.
