Golden Nuggets succumb to The Brady Bunch, 117.70-105.84

There's no easy way to put it, Golden Nuggets dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as The Brady Bunch secured a 117.70-105.84 victory. The Brady Bunch leapt out to a 68-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 62.4 points from Josh Jacobs (93 Rush Yds, 3 Rush TDs, 46 Rec Yds) and Lamar Jackson (275 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 45 Rush Yds) and never looked back. DeAndre Hopkins (14 Rec, 151 Rec Yds) and Alvin Kamara (16 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 51 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) were the top scorers for Golden Nuggets in the loss. The Brady Bunch (1-0) will look to add to their success against The Henny Whisperer, while Golden Nuggets (0-1) will attempt to earn their first W against La Flama Blanca.
