Beetle's Minions lose to The Dirty Hippies in 152.74-126.50 rout

There's no way around it, Beetle's Minions underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as The Dirty Hippies rolled to a 152.74-126.50 victory. The Dirty Hippies earned a 28.94-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind Dalvin Cook (32.9 points) and Stefon Diggs (26.2) and never relinquished it. Leonard Fournette (131 Rush Yds, 14 Rec Yds) and Amari Cooper (5 Rec, 106 Rec Yds) were the leaders for Beetle's Minions in defeat. The Dirty Hippies (4-3) will look to keep it rolling against Wolf of Wall Street, while Beetle's Minions (3-4) will try to generate some positive momentum against Big Smoke's Team.
