bunkstraps come up short of expectations, succumb to LarryDavidShrimp, 113-39

There's no sugarcoating it, bunkstraps underdelivered, at least based on projections, as LarryDavidShrimp emerged victorious with a 113-39 victory. bunkstraps leapt out to a 13-point lead on Thursday behind Case Keenum, who passed for 161 yards and a touchdown. But LarryDavidShrimp held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Cam Newton (269 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 49 Rush Yds) and Jared Goff (202 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs). LarryDavidShrimp (2-5) will look to sustain their momentum against THE BOSS, while bunkstraps (1-6) will face WilburForce in an effort to right the ship.
