Vultures fall short of expectations, lose to Hooligans, 148.35-141.25

There's no easy way to put it, Vultures didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as Hooligans earned a 148.35-141.25 win. Hooligans jumped out to a 69.95-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind stellar showings from Christian McCaffrey (72 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 65 Rec Yds) and Brandin Cooks (22.8) and never looked back. Rondale Moore (26.4 points) and Josh Allen (22.45) did everything they could for Vultures in the loss. Hooligans (2-0) will look to keep it rolling against Vultures, while Vultures (1-1) face Hooligans in an effort to right the ship.
