SAINTS come up short of expectations, lose to BK Sturm Gruz in 138.18-88.80 rout

There's no easy way to say it, SAINTS underperformed, at least compared to projections, as BK Sturm Gruz cruised to a 138.18-88.80 win.

Nick Chubb (144 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 32 Rec Yds) and Younghoe Koo (5-5 FG, 54 long, 4-4 XP) led the charge for SAINTS in defeat. This marks the second time this season BK Sturm Gruz have beaten SAINTS, after winning 118.44-97.2 in their last matchup. BK Sturm Gruz (8-4) will look to add to their success against Mike, while SAINTS (6-6) attempt to right the ship against CRUSH.
