Steel Reign fall short of projections, lose to Warm Bodies in 142.15-99.80 rout

There's no easy way to say it, Steel Reign underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Warm Bodies cruised to a 142.15-99.80 win. Warm Bodies pulled out to an 11.2-point lead early Sunday afternoon. Steel Reign came back to take the lead on Sunday night, powered by Brandon Aiyuk (9.2 points) and Jerick McKinnon (4.8). Not to be deterred, Warm Bodies pulled it together when it mattered most on Monday night, as Patrick Mahomes (26.85 points) and Travis Kelce (21.5) put them back in the lead once and for all. Warm Bodies (3-3) will look to add to their success against Cocks, while Steel Reign (1-5) attempt to generate some positive momentum against Redlegs.
