War Pony overcome starter's goose egg, knock off Mutinous Apes in 170.50-137.00 rout

Despite a 0-point week from Cameron Brate, War Pony were able to persevere and earn the victory, rolling to a 170.50-137.00 win over Mutinous Apes. This matchup was over almost as soon as it started, as War Pony took a 56.6-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind impressive showings from Philip Rivers and Melvin Gordon III. Rivers passed for 256 yards and 3 touchdowns for 31.3 points, while Gordon III racked up 66 yards from scrimmage and scored 3 touchdowns (30.6 points). Drew Brees (243 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and DeAndre Hopkins (6 Rec, 110 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did their part for Mutinous Apes in defeat. War Pony (2-0) will look to add to their success against Cocks, while Mutinous Apes (1-1) will attempt to get back on track against SAWTOOTHS.
