Wayward Lions fall to NY Dwarves, 104.9-91.7

There's no sugarcoating it, Wayward Lions underperformed, at least compared to projections, as NY Dwarves secured a 104.9-91.7 win. Wayward Lions took a 1.9-point lead on Thursday, but NY Dwarves held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Nick Chubb, who racked up 176 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 26.6 points, and Amari Cooper, who caught 6 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown (18.2 points). Justin Jefferson (7 Rec, 70 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Matthew Stafford (295 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) carried the flag for Wayward Lions in the loss. This marks the second time this season NY Dwarves have beaten Wayward Lions, after winning 106.04-94.98 in their last matchup. NY Dwarves (6-6) will look to add to their success against Wolves, while Wayward Lions (4-8) meet Philly in an effort to right the ship.
