Cleveland Tomahawks fall short of projections, find way to beat Chiefs in 150-106 rout

Both teams failed to rise to the occasion, coming up short of their projected point totals, but Cleveland Tomahawks did enough to beat Chiefs, rolling to a 150-106 victory. Chiefs got out to a 12-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Cleveland Tomahawks after that. They were led by Mike Davis (89 Rush Yds, 60 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Adam Thielen (9 Rec, 80 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Patrick Mahomes (340 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 21 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Myles Gaskin (57 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 34 Rec Yds) did their part for Chiefs in defeat. Cleveland Tomahawks (4-1) will look to keep it rolling against NJ Cashflow 2019, while Chiefs (1-4) will take on STOW THUNDER!! in an effort to get back in the win column.
