Whackers fall short of predictions, find way to knock off Roughnecks in 127.85-100.70 runaway

Despite underachieving compared to expectations, Whackers cruised to a 127.85-100.70 win over Roughnecks. Roughnecks jumped out to a 21.90-point lead on Thursday behind an outstanding effort from Josh Allen (260 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 43 Rush Yds). But it was all Whackers after that. They were led by Russell Wilson, who passed for 247 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran for 16 yards for 25.95 points, and Austin Ekeler, who racked up 99 yards from scrimmage and caught a touchdown pass (21.9 points). Whackers (8-4) will look to maintain their momentum against Norman Nobodies, while Roughnecks (7-5) will attempt to get some positive momentum against Hard Targets.
