Who Dat come up short of projections, lose to Roostrs, 183.2-151.9

There's no easy way to put it, Who Dat dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as Roostrs earned a 183.2-151.9 win. Roostrs took a 69.1-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 126.8 points from Ryan Tannehill (364 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and Derrick Henry (212 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 52 Rec Yds) and never looked back. Patrick Mahomes (225 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 36 Rush Yds) and Younghoe Koo (4-4 FG, 50 long, 4-4 XP) were the leaders for Who Dat in the loss. Roostrs (3-3) will look to earn another W against CARDINAL & GOLD, while Who Dat (4-2) will try to right the ship against L-Diggity.
