DARC NARC fall short of projections, succumb to AMMODOG in 147.30-126.95 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, DARC NARC didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as AMMODOG cruised to a 147.30-126.95 victory. DARC NARC jumped out to an 83.85-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind impressive showings from Alshon Jeffery (22.1 points) and Damien Williams (18.5). But it was all AMMODOG after that. They were led by Drew Brees (370 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Mark Ingram II (107 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs). AMMODOG (1-0) will look to notch another W against Norman Nobodies, while DARC NARC (0-1) try to develop some positive momentum against Arrogant Americans.
