DARC NARC find way to knock off Arrogant Americans 124.65-101.30 despite coming up short of projections

Both teams failed to bring their A game, falling short of their projected point totals, but DARC NARC did enough to knock off Arrogant Americans, earning a 124.65-101.30 victory. DARC NARC grabbed a 41.90-point lead on Thursday behind standout efforts from Carson Wentz (272 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 13 Rush Yds) and Michael Badgley (1-1 FG, 39 long, 6-6 XP) and never looked back. Alvin Kamara (50 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 54 Rec Yds) and Jaylen Waddle (8 Rec, 83 Rec Yds) were the top performers for Arrogant Americans in the loss. DARC NARC (4-5) will look to sustain their momentum against Whackers, while Arrogant Americans (2-7) attempt to get back on track against The Dogs of War.
