Spoon defeat Baytown Cowboys in 142.00-59.50 rout

Spoon rose to the occasion and outperformed their projected point total, rolling to a 142.00-59.50 win over Baytown Cowboys, who fell short of projections. There wasn't much drama in this one, as Spoon jumped out to a 83.5-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout showings from Todd Gurley II and the Los Angeles Rams defense. Gurley II racked up 73 yards from scrimmage and ran for 3 touchdowns for 26 points, while the Rams defense didn't allow any points, surrendered 137 yards, and intercepted a pass (25 points). DeAndre Hopkins (6 Rec, 110 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and the Jacksonville Jaguars defense (20 Pts Allowed, 302 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers) were the top performers for Baytown Cowboys in defeat. Spoon (2-0) will look to keep it rolling against Standing4Flag, while Baytown Cowboys (1-1) will try to get some positive momentum against Can I Haz Touchdown?.
