The Dog House fall short of expectations, succumb to Cavemen, 102.92-96.22

There's no easy way to put it, The Dog House dropped the ball, at least according to projections, as Cavemen secured a 102.92-96.22 win. Cavemen never trailed in this one after leaping out to a 2.30-point lead on Thursday behind Tyler Eifert. Drew Brees (243 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Kareem Hunt (75 Rush Yds) led the way for The Dog House in the loss. Cavemen (1-1) will look to rack up another W against Spokane Sith, while The Dog House (1-1) will try to right the ship against Blue Skywalker.
