Kingslayers fall short of projections, still manage to top Kaepernicus in 104.30-100.42 battle

There's no easy way to put it, Kingslayers underdelivered, at least based on projections. Still, they narrowly earned a 104.30-100.42 win over Kaepernicus. Kaepernicus made a run at it on Monday night, but it wasn't to be. Kingslayers led 104.30-95.78 after Sunday's action and held on for the win despite 4.64 points from Andy Dalton on Monday night for Kaepernicus. Cooper Kupp (9 Rec, 121 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Philip Rivers (310 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) led the way for Kingslayers in the win. Kingslayers improve to 3-1 on the season, while Kaepernicus fall to 2-2.
