Bizzle's Boys lose to The Demon in 158.46-111.08 landslide

There's no easy way to say it, Bizzle's Boys underdelivered, at least according to projections, as The Demon rolled to a 158.46-111.08 win. It didn't take long to figure out who would lead the way in the matchup, as The Demon leapt out to a 77.56-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 58.66 points from Josh Allen (249 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 55 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Joe Mixon (33 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 58 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Adam Thielen (19.8 points) and J.D. McKissic (18.6) were the leading performers for Bizzle's Boys in the loss. The Demon (3-5) will look to keep it rolling against Your Daddy Miguel's Swag Team, while Bizzle's Boys (5-3) try to develop some positive momentum against Brain.
