ZEKE WHO??? come up short of predictions, lose to Thomas and the Tank in 151.34-107.60 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, ZEKE WHO??? underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Thomas and the Tank cruised to a 151.34-107.60 victory. ZEKE WHO??? grabbed an 18.20-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Thomas and the Tank after that. They were led by Tom Brady, who passed for 341 yards and 3 touchdowns for 35.14 points, and Amari Cooper, who caught 6 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown (24.6 points). Allen Robinson II (18.2 points) and Stephen Gostkowski (17) carried the flag for ZEKE WHO??? in the loss. Thomas and the Tank (1-0) will look to add to their success against los Diablos, while ZEKE WHO??? (0-1) will take on Chris's Crazy Team in an effort to get back on track.
