SKINS hand Miles High third straight loss in 139-82 rout

SKINS rolled to a 139-82 victory to hand Miles High their third consecutive loss to open the season. Miles High nabbed a 26-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind stellar showings from Dalvin Cook (23 points) and Ryan Tannehill (11). But it was all SKINS after that. They were led by Patrick Mahomes (385 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 26 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and the Indianapolis Colts defense (7 Pts Allowed, 260 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers). SKINS (2-1) will look to add to their success against Pa-Saints, while Miles High (0-3) meet Texas Heat in an effort to right the ship.
