49erFaithful manage to knock off Superman's Team 73.75-54.63 despite falling short of projections

Both teams failed to rise to the occasion, falling short of their projected point totals, but 49erFaithful did enough to take down Superman's Team. Predicted to come out on top by a score of 87.10-73.82, 49erFaithful earned a 73.75-54.63 win over Superman's Team. Superman's Team grabbed an 11.65-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 20.9 points from Calvin Ridley (6 Rec, 61 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Joe Mixon (54 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 15 Rec Yds). But 49erFaithful held the lead the rest of the way, powered by the Arizona Cardinals defense, who allowed only 10 points, surrendered 325 yards, and forced 4 turnovers for 15 points, and George Kittle, who caught 7 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown (14.2 points). 49erFaithful improve to 1-5 on the season, while Superman's Team fall to 4-2.
