Gladiators fall to CagekickinGrunt in 97-60 rout

There's no way around it, Gladiators underperformed, at least based on projections, as CagekickinGrunt cruised to a 97-60 win. Gladiators took a 3-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all CagekickinGrunt after that. They were led by Kyler Murray, who passed for 188 yards , ran for 74 yards and scored 3 touchdowns for 28 points, and Julio Jones, who caught 8 passes for 137 yards and 2 touchdowns (25 points). Amari Cooper (13 points) and Adrian Peterson (11) carried the flag for Gladiators in defeat. CagekickinGrunt (2-4) will look to notch another win against Miles High, while Gladiators (3-3) attempt to get back on track against Charm City Playaz.
