Spyders knock off Cyclones in 126.54-85.74 rout

Spyders rose to the occasion, cruising to a 126.54-85.74 win over Cyclones, who fell short of projections. Cyclones pulled out to a 13.00-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Spyders after that. They were led by the Denver Broncos defense (0 Pts Allowed, 204 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers) and Carson Wentz (306 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 23 Rush Yds). Deshaun Watson (280 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 42 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and David Johnson (34 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 68 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) were the leaders for Cyclones in defeat. Spyders (5-1) will look to sustain their momentum against Good As Gould, while Cyclones (3-3) take on Evil Corp in an effort to get back in the win column.
