Michael fall short of expectations, lose to Bashers in 136.2-102.4 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, Michael didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Bashers rolled to a 136.2-102.4 victory. Bashers nabbed a 6.0-point lead on Thursday behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense and never relinquished it. Lamar Jackson and Travis Kelce (8 Rec, 108 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) carried the flag for Michael in the loss. Bashers improve to 2-3 on the season, while Michael fall to 1-4.
