Sprint Right Option come up short of expectations, lose to TheGurleyBoyz in 121.35-79.20 rout

There's no easy way to put it, Sprint Right Option dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as TheGurleyBoyz rolled to a 121.35-79.20 victory. It didn't take long to figure out who would have the advantage in the matchup, as TheGurleyBoyz jumped out to a 28.45-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind impressive efforts from Lamar Jackson and DK Metcalf. Jackson passed for 275 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran for 45 yards for 36.25 points, while Metcalf caught 4 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown (15.5 points). Dalvin Cook (50 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and Carson Wentz (270 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) did their part for Sprint Right Option in the loss. TheGurleyBoyz (1-0) will look to sustain their momentum against Hug It Out Bitch, while Sprint Right Option (0-1) will face Simmons in an effort to get their first victory.
