Unable to overcome starter's goose egg, PlasticPads&IronMen fall to The Paper Curtain, 107.24-95.10

Hindered by a goose egg from Brandon Marshall, PlasticPads&IronMen were unable to overcome The Paper Curtain, which secured a 107.24-95.10 win. The Paper Curtain jumped out to a 23.44-point lead on Thursday behind 44.04 points from Tom Brady (341 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Rob Gronkowski (6 Rec, 75 Rec Yds) and never looked back. Andrew Luck (365 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Melvin Gordon III (58 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 62 Rec Yds) did everything they could for PlasticPads&IronMen in the loss. The Paper Curtain (2-3) will look to maintain their momentum against Censored Clowns, while PlasticPads&IronMen (2-3) will try to right the ship against Russell Wilson's War.
