Orange bloods defy expectations, earn win over Dirty Dogs in 175.4-141.6 rout

Orange bloods beat expectations, cruising to a 175.4-141.6 win over Dirty Dogs, who fell short of projections. There was very little drama in this one, as Orange bloods took a 45.3-point lead on Thursday behind 45.3 points from Deshaun Watson (318 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 24 Rush Yds) and the Dallas Cowboys defense (41 Pts Allowed, 338 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers). Justin Jefferson (7 Rec, 70 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Kenyan Drake (78 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 15 Rec Yds) carried the flag for Dirty Dogs in defeat. Orange bloods (5-7) will look to add to their success against Nightmares, while Dirty Dogs (8-4) meet Boomtown Brawlers in an effort to get some positive momentum.
