ExigentCircumstances fall short of expectations, lose to The Xtreme in 141.45-89.90 rout

ExigentCircumstances failed to rise to the occasion, coming up short of projections, as The Xtreme rolled to a 141.45-89.90 victory. ExigentCircumstances pulled out to a 1.00-point lead on Thursday, but it was all The Xtreme after that. They were led by Calvin Ridley (8 Rec, 143 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Alvin Kamara (75 Rush Yds, 47 Rec Yds). Austin Ekeler (24 Rush Yds, 108 Rec Yds) and Mitchell Trubisky (190 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) were the top performers for ExigentCircumstances in defeat. The Xtreme (6-5) will look to sustain their winning ways against SECFOR Sixers, while ExigentCircumstances (3-8) attempt to get back on track against Dirty Dogs.
