Despite top scorer Bridgewater, Negligent Discharges fall to Hooligans in 132.40-106.35 rout

Negligent Discharges had the top scorer in the matchup with QB Teddy Bridgewater racking up 26.75 points, the eighth-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple Hooligans, who cruised to a 132.40-106.35 win. Negligent Discharges got out to a 16.70-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Hooligans after that. They were led by Austin Ekeler (7 Rec, 118 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Stefon Diggs (7 Rec, 142 Rec Yds). Teddy Bridgewater (26.75 points) and Kyle Rudolph (16.8) did their part for Negligent Discharges in defeat. Hooligans (3-4) will look to earn another W against WarEagle, while Negligent Discharges (1-6) will meet War Pony in an effort to get back on track.
