Social Disease defy predictions, defeat Long Island Steelers in 108.44-77.98 rout

Social Disease rose to the occasion, rolling to a 108.44-77.98 victory over Long Island Steelers, who fell short of projections. There was very little drama in this matchup, as Social Disease leapt out to a 63.54-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 52.54 points from Saquon Barkley (142 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 10 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Andy Dalton (211 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 29 Rush Yds). Kirk Cousins (262 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Julio Jones (6 Rec, 118 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) were the leaders for Long Island Steelers in the loss. Social Disease (3-8) will look to rack up another W against Crhysboys, while Long Island Steelers (5-6) will take on Blitzburgh in an effort to right the ship.
