The Alibi Room come up short of expectations, lose to Heavy Pettine in 197.80-100.45 rout

The Alibi Room were unable to rise to the occasion, falling short of their projected point total, as Heavy Pettine cruised to a 197.80-100.45 win.

McCaffrey racked up 88 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 32.2 points, while Diggs caught 8 passes for 153 yards and a touchdown (30.3 points). Gardner Minshew II (29.75 points) and Dalvin Cook (23.4) carried the flag for The Alibi Room in the loss.
