White Russian lose to 👄 in 122.50-84.76 rout

There's no easy way to put it, White Russian didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as 👄 rolled to a 122.50-84.76 victory. 👄 nabbed a 19.80-point lead on Thursday behind Clyde Edwards-Helaire and never gave it up. Tom Brady (239 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Julio Jones (9 Rec, 157 Rec Yds) led the charge for White Russian in defeat. 👄 (1-0) will look to rack up another W against keegun's Team, while White Russian (0-1) face Butkus 51 in an effort to right the ship.
