Stormlight fall short of expectations, succumb to BenchWarmers in 102.90-46.04 blowout

There's no easy way to put it, Stormlight dropped the ball, at least based on projections, as BenchWarmers rolled to a 102.90-46.04 victory. BenchWarmers never trailed in this one after earning a 4.00-point lead on Thursday behind Dustin Hopkins. Kirk Cousins (87 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 10 Rush Yds) and Josh Jacobs (52 Rush Yds, 42 Rec Yds) were the leading scorers for Stormlight in the loss. This marks the second time this season BenchWarmers have knocked off Stormlight, after winning 65.57-59.43 in their last matchup. BenchWarmers will look to not lose that winning feeling in the Championship next week, while Stormlight seek to bounce back and lock up 3rd Place.

Nice job, BenchWarmers. Bravo on deploying a starting crew that blew the opponent out by almost 57 points in Week 15.
