HTTR! fall short of expectations, lose to Night Hawk, 238.45-175.55

There's no easy way to say it, HTTR! didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Night Hawk earned a 238.45-175.55 victory. HTTR! jumped out to a 49.80-point lead on Thursday behind 34.8 points from Will Fuller V (8 Rec, 112 Rec Yds) and Tyreek Hill (5 Rec, 46 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). But Night Hawk held the lead the rest of the way, powered by DeAndre Hopkins (14 Rec, 151 Rec Yds) and Chris Carson (21 Rush Yds, 45 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Night Hawk (1-0) will look to rack up another W against Naked Bootlegs, while HTTR! (0-1) will face off against PIERMONSTERS in an effort to right the ship.
