The Watcher smirk at projections, defeat Bigblue in 96-55 rout

The Watcher showed up and exceeded their projected point total, rolling to a 96-55 win over Bigblue, who fell short of projections. It didn't take long to learn who would lead the way in the matchup, as The Watcher jumped out to a 32-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 57 points from Dak Prescott (450 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 18 Rush Yds, 3 Rush TDs) and Younghoe Koo (4-4 FG, 42 long, 3-3 XP). Jimmy Garoppolo (17 points) and Mason Crosby (11) were the leading scorers for Bigblue in defeat. The Watcher (2-0) will look to keep it rolling against NYC, while Bigblue (0-2) will try to get back on track against Brooklyn Bandits.
