Whackers fall short of predictions, lose to DominationStation in 168.9-147.0 runaway

Whackers were unable to bring their A game, falling short of their projected point total, as DominationStation cruised to a 168.9-147.0 victory. Whackers earned an 8.0-point lead on Thursday, but it was all DominationStation after that. They were led by Tom Brady, who passed for 432 yards , ran for 14 yards and scored 2 touchdowns for 35 points, and the Arizona Cardinals defense, who allowed 19 points, surrendered 361 yards, and forced 4 turnovers (21 points). Cooper Kupp (9 Rec, 96 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Austin Ekeler (55 Rush Yds, 52 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the way for Whackers in the loss. DominationStation (2-1) will look to build on their success against Hard Targets, while Whackers (2-1) meet Dead Again in an effort to right the ship.
