Flexecution fall short of projections, succumb to Straight Cash Homie in 126.02-105.56 rout

There's no easy way to put it, Flexecution dropped the ball, at least according to projections, as Straight Cash Homie cruised to a 126.02-105.56 victory. Flexecution pulled out to a 3.00-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Straight Cash Homie after that. They were led by Patrick Mahomes, who passed for 358 yards and 4 touchdowns and ran for 45 yards for 40.82 points, and the Los Angeles Rams defense, who allowed only 10 points, surrendered 228 yards, and forced 4 turnovers (23 points). Saquon Barkley (43 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 51 Rec Yds) and George Kittle (5 Rec, 98 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) carried the flag for Flexecution in the loss. Straight Cash Homie (2-5) will look to rack up another W against Bad JuJu, while Flexecution (2-5) will try to right the ship against BAMFS.
