WarEagle find way to defeat Warm Bodies 139.75-130.80

Both teams underperformed their projected point totals, but WarEagle did enough to get the best of Warm Bodies, coming out on top with a 139.75-130.80 victory. Warm Bodies leapt out to a 40.10-point lead on Thursday behind impressive performances from Patrick Mahomes, who passed for 211 yards and 3 touchdowns for 28.55 points, and David Johnson, who racked up 109 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown (19.9 points). But WarEagle held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Josh Jacobs (93 Rush Yds, 3 Rush TDs, 46 Rec Yds) and Deshaun Watson (253 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 27 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD). WarEagle (1-0) will look to get another W against Mutinous Apes, while Warm Bodies (0-1) will face Redlegs in an effort to right the ship.
