The Enablers lose to FunkyChickens in 135.50-93.07 rout

There's no way around it, The Enablers didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as FunkyChickens cruised to a 135.50-93.07 victory. FunkyChickens got out to a 10.90-point lead on Thursday behind Tarik Cohen and never gave it up. Deshaun Watson (268 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 40 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Adam Thielen (3 Rec, 43 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) were the leaders for The Enablers in the loss. FunkyChickens (1-0) will look to keep it rolling against BADGERS, while The Enablers (0-1) will try to earn their first W against Kent's Fabulous Team.
