Brewmasters top Vultures to remain unbeaten in 174.40-117.80 rout

Brewmasters won their sixth game in a row to open the season with a convincing victory over Vultures, rolling to a 174.40-117.80 win. Vultures got out to a 22.00-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Brewmasters after that. They were led by Matt Ryan, who passed for 356 yards and 4 touchdowns for 42.5 points, and the Denver Broncos defense, who didn't allow any points, surrendered 204 yards, and intercepted 3 passes (23 points). Kyler Murray (340 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 32 Rush Yds) and the New England Patriots defense (14 Pts Allowed, 213 Yds Allowed, 4 Turnovers) carried the flag for Vultures in the loss. Brewmasters (6-0) will look to keep it rolling against Mutinous Apes, while Vultures (3-3) attempt to develop some positive momentum against Redlegs.
