Not Enuf Johnson fall short of expectations, succumb to Simmons, 102.2-94.9

There's no sugarcoating it, Not Enuf Johnson didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Simmons earned a 102.2-94.9 victory. Not Enuf Johnson nabbed a 13.4-point lead on Thursday, but Simmons held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Jacoby Brissett (38.9 points) and Latavius Murray (27). Jared Goff (268 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and the New England Patriots defense (0 Pts Allowed, 154 Yds Allowed, 6 Turnovers) did everything they could for Not Enuf Johnson in the loss. Simmons (2-5) will look to rack up another W against Bearly Legal, while Not Enuf Johnson (3-4) meet Sprint Right Option in an effort to develop some positive momentum.
