Brewmasters won their third matchup in a row to open the season with a dominant win over Hooligans, rolling to a 144.10-118.40 victory. The matchup was decided before it really even started, as Brewmasters jumped out to a 71.75-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind stellar showings from Matt Ryan (31.5 points) and Julio Jones (26.8). Tyler Lockett (59 Ret. Yds) and Carson Wentz (259 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 33 Rush Yds) led the way for Hooligans in defeat. Brewmasters (3-0) will look to rack up another win against Rebel Alliance, while Hooligans (2-1) match up against Doughboys in an effort to get back on track.
