MFIC lose to Pimp Squeaks, 113.86-97.88

There's no sugarcoating it, MFIC underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Pimp Squeaks earned a 113.86-97.88 win. MFIC nabbed a 20.18-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding performances from Russell Wilson (19.68 points) and Jonnu Smith (16.8). But Pimp Squeaks held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Deshaun Watson, who passed for 279 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran for 46 yards for 33.76 points, and the Detroit Lions defense, who allowed 26 points, surrendered 370 yards, and forced a fumble (18 points). Pimp Squeaks (4-4) will look to maintain their winning ways against Old Stonewall's Team, while MFIC (2-6) will take on Team Name Required in an effort to right the ship.
