The real Eric come up short of expectations, find way to beat Sherlock Mahomes, 78.62-68.04

Both teams were unable to rise to the occasion, coming up short of their projected point totals, but The real Eric did enough to knock off Sherlock Mahomes, emerging victorious with a 78.62-68.04 victory. Sherlock Mahomes jumped out to a 14.94-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding efforts from Courtland Sutton (8.7 points) and Patrick Mahomes (7.24). But The real Eric held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Deshaun Watson, who passed for 308 yards and a touchdown and ran for 32 yards for 17.52 points, and Aaron Jones, who racked up 83 yards from scrimmage and caught a touchdown pass (14.3 points). The real Eric (4-3) will look to earn another W against Red White & Blaine, while Sherlock Mahomes (2-5) will meet MGKvsBRD in an effort to get back on track.
