Brian's Team top projections but fall to ZERO, 1,375.5-1,192.5

ZERO fell short of projections while Brian's Team showed up and exceeded their projected point total, but it wasn't enough to swing the result. Predicted to win by a score of 1,654.1-1,047.3, ZERO earned a 1,375.5-1,192.5 win over Brian's Team. ZERO nabbed a 483.5-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind stellar performances from Gardner Minshew II (233.5 points) and A.J. Brown (196) and never looked back. Baker Mayfield (297 Pass Yds, 5 Pass TDs) and Tyler Lockett (15 Rec, 200 Rec Yds, 3 Rec TDs) led the charge for Brian's Team in the loss. ZERO (5-2) will look to get another W against KILLER CROCODILES, while Brian's Team (2-5) will attempt to get back on track against MoneyMike's Team.
