ExigentCircumstances top predictions, defeat Enforcers in 156.3-116.6 rout

ExigentCircumstances stepped up and exceeded expectations, rolling to a 156.3-116.6 victory over Enforcers, who fell short of projections. Enforcers pulled out to a 20.0-point lead on Thursday, but it was all ExigentCircumstances after that. They were led by Cam Newton (150 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 36 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and Robert Woods (13 Rush Yds, 104 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Mike Evans (25.7 points) and Matthew Stafford (24.1) carried the flag for Enforcers in the loss. ExigentCircumstances (2-1) will look to keep it rolling against Nightmares, while Enforcers (1-2) match up against Dirty Dogs in an effort to get back in the win column.
