Windy City Hooligans fall short of projections, succumb to Cockeyed's Crusaders in 122.96-101.72 rout

There's no way around it, Windy City Hooligans didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Cockeyed's Crusaders cruised to a 122.96-101.72 victory. Windy City Hooligans took a 30.42-point lead on Thursday behind Dak Prescott, who passed for 403 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran for 13 yards. But it was all Cockeyed's Crusaders after that. They were led by Adam Thielen, who caught 9 passes for 92 yards and 2 touchdowns for 30.2 points, and Jalen Hurts, who passed for 264 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran for 62 yards (28.76 points). Cockeyed's Crusaders (1-0) will look to add to their success against ZACH THE RIPPER, while Windy City Hooligans (0-1) will meet Gangreen in an effort to get some positive momentum.
