Vikings smirk at predictions, earn win over Nighthawks 11 in 150.75-69.92 rout

Vikings rose to the occasion and beat their projected point total, rolling to a 150.75-69.92 win over Nighthawks 11, who fell short of projections. There was very little drama in this one, as Vikings leapt out to a 63.25-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind stellar showings from Dak Prescott and Tyler Higbee. Prescott passed for 450 yards , ran for 18 yards and scored 4 touchdowns for 49.9 points, while Higbee caught 5 passes for 54 yards and 3 touchdowns (23.2 points). Justin Tucker (4-4 FG, 47 long, 3-3 XP) and Ezekiel Elliott (89 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 33 Rec Yds) did their part for Nighthawks 11 in the loss. Vikings (1-1) will look to rack up another win against Piesh's Players, while Nighthawks 11 (0-2) will meet Minnesota Madness in an effort to right the ship.
