Shark bait come up short of expectations, succumb to Spoon in 89-48 rout

Shark bait underperformed their projected point total, as Spoon rolled to an 89-48 win. Shark bait grabbed an 11-point lead on Thursday behind 11 points from Matt Ryan (281 Pass Yds, 27 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and DJ Moore (2 Rec, 55 Rec Yds). But it was all Spoon after that. They were led by the Indianapolis Colts defense (21 Pts Allowed, 326 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) and Russell Wilson (261 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 23 Rush Yds). Spoon (5-3) will look to rack up another W against Gritz Blitz, while Shark bait (3-5) will meet Warriors in an effort to get back in the win column.
