DKL's brush off projections, knock off Onion Kings in 173.50-101.94 rout

DKL's rose to the occasion and beat their projected point total, rolling to a 173.50-101.94 victory over Onion Kings, who fell short of projections. Onion Kings grabbed a 7.28-point lead on Thursday, but it was all DKL's after that. They were led by Patrick Mahomes (33 points) and Christian McCaffrey (31.1). Odell Beckham Jr. (49 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 35 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Dalvin Cook (84 Rush Yds, 22 Rec Yds) did everything they could for Onion Kings in the loss. This marks the second time this season DKL's have taken down Onion Kings, after winning 164.04-122.32 in their last matchup. DKL's (9-4) will look to keep it rolling in the playoffs. Onion Kings will be home for the playoffs, finishing the season at 5-8.
