Butler Jets succumb to The Cardiac Comeback, 92-84

There's no easy way to put it, Butler Jets underdelivered, at least based on projections, as The Cardiac Comeback staged a comeback to earn a 92-84 win. Trailing 74-69 heading into Monday night, The Cardiac Comeback roared back behind Baker Mayfield (23 points). Carson Wentz (231 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) and Saquon Barkley (107 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 28 Rec Yds) did their part for Butler Jets in defeat. The Cardiac Comeback (1-1) will look to notch another win against Dak to the Future, while Butler Jets (1-1) attempt to develop some positive momentum against Gnaperville Gnus.
