VABoyz fall short of expectations, succumb to NYG in 84-81 battle

VABoyz fell short of expectations, as NYG squeaked by for an 84-81 win. NYG led 84-81 heading into Monday night with one player left to play. They were fortunate to have the lead already, as didn't do much to pad their point total. Carson Wentz (21 points) and Ezekiel Elliott (17) carried the flag for VABoyz in defeat. NYG (2-0) will look to earn another win against HowAboutCowboys, while VABoyz (0-2) try to get their first win against Stewies Pigskinners.
