Mean Machine smirk at projections, come back to knock off Ballers in 171.48-141.47 rout

Mean Machine brought their A game and exceeded their projected point total, rolling to a 171.48-141.47 win over Ballers, who fell short of projections. Ballers jumped out to a 65.04-point lead on Thursday behind an outstanding performance from Joe Burrow. But it was all Mean Machine after that. They were led by Cam Newton (397 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 47 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and Christian McCaffrey (59 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 29 Rec Yds). Mean Machine (1-1) will look to keep it rolling against NMSaints, while Ballers (0-2) face wasp in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

Mean Machine
Wow, Mean Machine, you got friends at NASA or something? Not only did you win by more than 30 points, you also skyrocketed six whole spots to eighth place in the league standings!
