Prof Irv.Prac.Fields outperform predictions, defeat Kayfabe in 126.35-73.00 rout

Prof Irv.Prac.Fields showed up, cruising to a 126.35-73.00 victory over Kayfabe, who fell short of projections. Kayfabe grabbed a 45.96-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind impressive efforts from Carson Wentz (16.83 points) and Calvin Ridley (12.47). But it was all Prof Irv.Prac.Fields after that. They were led by Dak Prescott, who passed for 472 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran for 26 yards for 29.17 points, and the Indianapolis Colts defense, who allowed only 7 points, surrendered 260 yards, and intercepted 3 passes (26 points). Prof Irv.Prac.Fields (2-1) will look to add to their success against Xheryk, while Kayfabe (2-1) match up against AvengerRam in an effort to generate some positive momentum.
