Polo G fall short of expectations, lose to Nitro Fix in 132.76-98.62 rout

There's no easy way to put it, Polo G dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as Nitro Fix cruised to a 132.76-98.62 win. Polo G earned a 27.3-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 31.7 points from Brandin Cooks (9 Rec, 78 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (6 Rec, 41 Rec Yds). But it was all Nitro Fix after that. They were led by Lamar Jackson (239 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 107 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and Travis Kelce (7 Rec, 109 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Nitro Fix (2-0) will look to keep it rolling against SteelerFanatic, while Polo G (1-1) will try to get some positive momentum against Amy's Grid Iron Gang.
