LightsKamaraAction smirk at expectations, come back to win against Bob Sugar in 152.97-130.43 rout

LightsKamaraAction brought their A game and beat expectations, cruising to a 152.97-130.43 victory over Bob Sugar. Bob Sugar leapt out to a 51.73-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding showings from Matt Ryan, who passed for 304 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran for 24 yards for 24.53 points, and the New York Jets defense, who allowed 17 points, surrendered 370 yards, and forced 4 turnovers (23 points). But it was all LightsKamaraAction after that. They were led by T.Y. Hilton (8 Rec, 87 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and the Minnesota Vikings defense (12 Pts Allowed, 345 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers). LightsKamaraAction (1-0) will look to build on their success against Sacksonville, while Bob Sugar (0-1) will take on Bills Mafia in an effort to get some positive momentum.
