Touch of Downs come up short of projections, succumb to Purple Skunk, 150.38-134.42

There's no sugarcoating it, Touch of Downs didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as Purple Skunk staged a comeback for a 150.38-134.42 win. Purple Skunk trailed 134.42-115.18 heading into Monday night, but the squad came storming back behind Odell Beckham Jr., who caught 6 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown for 25.1 points, and Robby Anderson, who caught 4 passes for 81 yards (10.1 points). Russell Wilson (300 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 22 Rush Yds) and Saquon Barkley (107 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 28 Rec Yds) led the way for Touch of Downs in defeat. Purple Skunk (2-0) will look to keep it rolling against Bye Week, while Touch of Downs (1-1) take on Matty Ice Ice Baby in an effort to right the ship.
