Outlaws fall short of expectations, succumb to Fania's Team, 181.2-164.7

There's no sugarcoating it, Outlaws underperformed, at least compared to projections, as Fania's Team emerged victorious with a 181.2-164.7 victory. Outlaws earned an 11.4-point lead on Thursday, but Fania's Team held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Sam Darnold, who passed for 279 yards and a touchdown for 50.8 points, and T.J. Hockenson, who caught 8 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown (21.7 points). Joe Mixon (23 points) and Jarvis Landry (16.9) led the way for Outlaws in the loss. Fania's Team (1-0) will look to sustain their winning ways against Elijah’s Elite Team, while Outlaws (0-1) will attempt to generate some positive momentum against K Bizzle's Team.
