Hooligans fall short of projections, succumb to Steel Reign in 167.90-108.95 landslide

There's no way around it, Hooligans underperformed, at least based on projections, as Steel Reign cruised to a 167.90-108.95 victory. Hooligans earned a 26.70-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 26.7 points from Brandin Cooks (9 Rec, 112 Rec Yds) and Christian McCaffrey (31 Rush Yds). But it was all Steel Reign after that. They were led by Cooper Kupp (30.6 points) and Jalen Hurts (27.8). Steel Reign (2-1) will look to build on their success against Negligent Discharges, while Hooligans (2-1) try to get back in the win column against War Pony.
