WarEagle smirk at predictions, knock off Redlegs in 171.9-124.1 rout

WarEagle exceeded expectations, cruising to a 171.9-124.1 win over Redlegs, who fell short of projections. Redlegs pulled out to a 13.7-point lead on Thursday, but it was all WarEagle after that. They were led by JuJu Smith-Schuster (13 Rec, 189 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Leonard Fournette (95 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 13 Rec Yds). Adam Thielen (8 Rec, 125 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Lamar Jackson (178 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 71 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) carried the flag for Redlegs in defeat. WarEagle (5-7) will look to get another win against Negligent Discharges, while Redlegs (7-5) meet Rebel Alliance in an effort to get back on track.
