Chicken Dinner fall short of expectations, come back to beat Destroyers in 80.05-77.70 battle

Despite failing to bring their A game and falling short of projections, Chicken Dinner staged a comeback for an 80.05-77.70 win over Destroyers, who actually exceeded projections. Trailing 77.70-50.05 heading into Sunday night, Chicken Dinner charged back behind Davante Adams (12.1 points). Tom Brady (31.15 points) and Jarvis Landry (20.3) carried the flag for Destroyers in the loss. This marks the first time this season Chicken Dinner have knocked off Destroyers, after falling 89.4-73 in their last matchup. Chicken Dinner (5-7) will look to keep it rolling against Lords of Burttown, while Destroyers (2-10) try to get back in the win column against Wallywood.
