Hooligans fall to Redlegs in 164.50-116.85 rout

Hooligans failed to bring their A game, falling short of projections, as Redlegs cruised to a 164.50-116.85 win. Hooligans got out to a 9.70-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Redlegs after that. They were led by Todd Gurley II, who racked up 73 yards from scrimmage and ran for 3 touchdowns for 32.3 points, and Adam Thielen, who caught 12 passes for 131 yards and a touchdown (31.1 points). Keelan Cole (7 Rec, 116 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Russell Wilson (226 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 17 Rush Yds) were the leading performers for Hooligans in defeat. Redlegs (1-1) will look to build on their success against Brewmasters, while Hooligans (0-2) attempt to generate some positive momentum against Rebel Alliance.
