Steel Reign smirk at predictions, defeat Redlegs in 153.45-124.70 rout

Steel Reign exceeded their projected point total, cruising to a 153.45-124.70 victory over Redlegs, who fell short of projections. Redlegs got out to a 6.60-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Steel Reign after that. They were led by Dak Prescott, who passed for 463 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran for 27 yards for 31.85 points, and Julian Edelman, who caught 8 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown (25 points). Christian McCaffrey (176 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 61 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Dede Westbrook (7 Rec, 82 Rec Yds) were the top scorers for Redlegs in the loss. Steel Reign (2-3) will look to keep it rolling against Hooligans, while Redlegs (2-3) try to get back in the win column against WarEagle.
