Rebel Alliance come up short of expectations, lose to Warm Bodies in 143.10-111.25 rout

Rebel Alliance failed to bring their A game, falling short of projections, as Warm Bodies cruised to a 143.10-111.25 victory. Rebel Alliance pulled out to a 10.80-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Warm Bodies after that. They were led by James White (40 Rush Yds, 57 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and the Los Angeles Rams defense (10 Pts Allowed, 228 Yds Allowed, 4 Turnovers). Jameis Winston (365 Pass Yds, 55 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Alvin Kamara (64 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 11 Rec Yds) carried the flag for Rebel Alliance in the loss. Warm Bodies (4-3) will look to keep it rolling against Redlegs, while Rebel Alliance (3-4) try to get some positive momentum against Mutinous Apes.
