Tall City Hawgs hand BringThePain fifth consecutive loss in 153-29 rout

Tall City Hawgs cruised to a 153-29 victory to hand BringThePain their fifth straight loss. It didn't take long to figure out who would be the frontrunner in the matchup, as Tall City Hawgs jumped out to a 95-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 50 points from the Chicago Bears defense (9 Pts Allowed, 264 Yds Allowed, 4 Turnovers) and Cam Newton (247 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 33 Rush Yds). DeAndre Hopkins (10 Rec, 105 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Tyreek Hill (16 Rush Yds, 69 Rec Yds) carried the flag for BringThePain in the loss. Tall City Hawgs (1-8) will look to sustain their momentum against Adam's Team, while BringThePain (1-8) will try to develop some positive momentum against HeadKnockers.
