OnlyCams fall short of predictions, succumb to Tua-finity & beyond, 118.42-109.48

There's no way around it, OnlyCams dropped the ball, at least based on projections, as Tua-finity & beyond came from behind for a 118.42-109.48 victory. Despite trailing 109.48-88.90 heading into Sunday night, Tua-finity & beyond roared back behind Drew Brees, who passed for 288 yards and 3 touchdowns for 29.52 points. Tyler Boyd (22.5 points) and Robert Woods (21.4) led the way for OnlyCams in defeat. Tua-finity & beyond (2-1) will look to sustain their winning ways against Mike Oxmaul, while OnlyCams (1-2) attempt to right the ship against Kevin and the Zits.
