Gareth knock off CardinalFan in 109.43-65.81 rout

Gareth exceeded their projected point total, cruising to a 109.43-65.81 win over CardinalFan, who fell short of projections. CardinalFan earned a 2.60-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Gareth after that. They were led by Jarvis Landry, who caught 8 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown for 23.3 points, and Nick Chubb, who racked up 176 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown (21.8 points). Younghoe Koo (20 points) and the New Orleans Saints defense (14) led the way for CardinalFan in the loss. Gareth (5-7) will look to sustain their winning ways against Kayfabe, while CardinalFan (8-4) meet AltiTude Rams in an effort to right the ship.
