DA Ferrets find way to top Omaha Steaks 157.75-136.49

Full of promise, DA Ferrets underperformed, at least compared to projections. Still, they secured a 157.75-136.49 victory over Omaha Steaks. DA Ferrets leapt out to a 60.10-point lead on Thursday behind stellar showings from Andrew Luck (53.6 points) and Jason McCourty (6.5) and never looked back. Jared Goff (321 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 15 Rush Yds) and Antonio Brown (6 Rec, 101 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) led the charge for Omaha Steaks in the loss. DA Ferrets (2-3) will look to sustain their winning ways against Dallas Dwarf Tossers, while Omaha Steaks (3-2) attempt to develop some positive momentum against Mingapulcos.
