Redlegs lose to Vultures in 150.15-104.40 rout

There's no easy way to say it, Redlegs dropped the ball, at least according to projections, as Vultures cruised to a 150.15-104.40 victory. There was very little drama in this one, as Vultures jumped out to a 35.05-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 61.65 points from Patrick Mahomes (375 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 18 Rush Yds) and Julio Jones (7 Rec, 121 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Todd Gurley II (19.9 points) and Jordan Howard (16.7) led the way for Redlegs in defeat. Vultures (5-4) will look to earn another win against Hooligans, while Redlegs (6-3) meet Negligent Discharges in an effort to get back on track.
