The Professor come up short of expectations, succumb to The Demon in 145.38-80.78 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, The Professor underdelivered, at least based on projections, as The Demon cruised to a 145.38-80.78 victory. The Professor pulled out to a 6.50-point lead on Thursday, but it was all The Demon after that. They were led by Joe Mixon (28.9 points) and T.J. Hockenson (25.7). Stefon Diggs (9 Rec, 69 Rec Yds) and Josh Allen (270 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 44 Rush Yds) were the leaders for The Professor in defeat. The Demon (1-0) will look to maintain their momentum against ⚫⚫BLACK&GOLD🟡🟡, while The Professor (0-1) face SuckMikeDitka in an effort to get their first W.
