Vultures come up short of predictions, succumb to Cocks in 140.3-113.1 rout

There's no easy way to say it, Vultures didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Cocks rolled to a 140.3-113.1 victory. Vultures took a 7.0-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Cocks after that. They were led by Darius Slayton (6 Rec, 102 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (6 Rec, 69 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Drew Brees (20 points) and Chris Godwin (13.9) led the way for Vultures in the loss. Cocks (1-0) will look to build on their success against Rebel Alliance, while Vultures (0-1) attempt to right the ship against Brewmasters.
