Firestorm top expectations, knock off Blue Skywalker in 128.10-95.36 rout

Firestorm exceeded their projected point total, cruising to a 128.10-95.36 win over Blue Skywalker, who fell short of projections. Firestorm earned a 9.00-point lead on Thursday behind Alex Collins and never gave it up. The Los Angeles Rams defense (0 Pts Allowed, 137 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers) and Andrew Luck (179 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) were the leaders for Blue Skywalker in the loss. Firestorm (1-1) will look to add to their success against Big Jerms Worms, while Blue Skywalker (0-2) face The Dog House in an effort to get back on track.
