TʜᴇB™ come up short of expectations, lose to Drunkenmonk in 168.70-100.16 beatdown

There's no way around it, TʜᴇB™ underperformed, at least based on projections, as Drunkenmonk rolled to a 168.70-100.16 victory. The matchup was over almost as soon as it started, as Drunkenmonk leapt out to a 42.18-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 54.6 points from Mike Williams (7 Rec, 122 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Saquon Barkley (51 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 43 Rec Yds). Lamar Jackson (287 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 58 Rush Yds) and Chris Godwin (6 Rec, 74 Rec Yds) carried the flag for TʜᴇB™ in defeat. Drunkenmonk (2-1) will look to add to their success against BARK, while TʜᴇB™ (1-2) will take on DX in an effort to get back on track.
