Vegas Bound earn win over DOOMSDAY in 136.7-99.6 blowout

Vegas Bound outperformed their projected point total, cruising to a 136.7-99.6 victory over DOOMSDAY, who fell short of projections. DOOMSDAY nabbed a 21.3-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding performances from Elijah Moore (27.4 points) and the Indianapolis Colts defense (6). But it was all Vegas Bound after that. They were led by Marquise Brown, who caught 9 passes for 116 yards for 25.6 points, and George Kittle, who caught 6 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown (25.1 points). Vegas Bound (2-6) will look to keep it rolling against NoFatChicks, while DOOMSDAY (3-5) meet SHOW ME THE MONEY in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

Vegas Bound
You know what, Vegas Bound, we do appreciate the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Nelson Agholor), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire. Try those shenanigans next week against NoFatChicks and we're sure to be toast!
DOOMSDAY
Producing just one catch on three targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for DOOMSDAY should look into why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
