Unable to overcome multiple busts, Vultures fall to WarEagle in 128.2-124.5 battle

Hampered by two starters who put up goose eggs (Amari Cooper and Phillip Dorsett II), Vultures were unable to overcome WarEagle, which staged an impressive comeback for a 128.2-124.5 victory. Trailing 124.5-106.3 heading into Monday night, WarEagle charged back behind Willie Snead IV (2 Rec, 14 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Jared Goff (212 Pass Yds). Allen Robinson II (6 Rec, 131 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Jared Cook (6 Rec, 99 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did everything they could for Vultures in the loss. WarEagle (3-9) will look to build on their success against Negligent Discharges, while Vultures (6-6) attempt to get back in the win column against Doughboys.
