Slinks Mayhem lose to Raising Cardinals, 126.52-108.44

There's no sugarcoating it, Slinks Mayhem didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Raising Cardinals came out on top with a 126.52-108.44 win. Raising Cardinals took an 89.72-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 40.22 points from the Buffalo Bills defense (0 Pts Allowed, 216 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers) and Matthew Stafford (278 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and never looked back. Tom Brady (276 Pass Yds, 5 Pass TDs) and Rob Gronkowski (4 Rec, 39 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) led the way for Slinks Mayhem in the loss. Raising Cardinals (1-1) will look to keep it rolling against Poldi Steelers, while Slinks Mayhem (1-1) attempt to get back in the win column against Zelinsky Fresno.
