IF I DIE I DIE come up short of expectations, lose to Covid Kingdom in 137.8-105.0 rout

There's no easy way to say it, IF I DIE I DIE underperformed, at least according to projections, as Covid Kingdom cruised to a 137.8-105.0 victory. There was very little drama in the matchup, as Covid Kingdom nabbed a 52.5-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind impressive efforts from Dalvin Cook and Robert Woods. Cook racked up 199 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 24.9 points, while Woods racked up 104 yards from scrimmage and caught a touchdown pass (18.9 points). Derrick Henry (119 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 11 Rec Yds) and Matthew Stafford (270 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) did their part for IF I DIE I DIE in defeat. Covid Kingdom (2-1) will look to sustain their momentum against Book of Eli, while IF I DIE I DIE (1-2) try to get some positive momentum against illegal ALIENs.
