Dirty Hippies come up short of projections, lose to Hangovers in 130.85-105.00 rout

There's no way around it, Dirty Hippies dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as Hangovers rolled to a 130.85-105.00 win. Dirty Hippies jumped out to a 76.5-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout showings from Marvin Jones Jr. (18.9 points) and Damien Harris (16.2). But it was all Hangovers after that. They were led by DK Metcalf, who caught 12 passes for 161 yards and 2 touchdowns for 40.1 points, and Tom Brady, who passed for 279 yards and 2 touchdowns (25.85 points). Hangovers (4-4) will look to sustain their winning ways against DARC NARC, while Dirty Hippies (3-5) will meet Soonerjack in an effort to get back on track.
