Prolific knock off Bullievers to remain undefeated in 118-68 drubbing

Prolific won their third straight game to open the season with a dominant win over Bullievers, cruising to a 118-68 victory. Prolific got out to an 11-point lead on Thursday behind Brandin Cooks and never looked back. Kyler Murray (316 Pass Yds, 19 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and DK Metcalf (6 Rec, 107 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did everything they could for Bullievers in defeat. Prolific (3-0) will look to add to their success against Bucco Bruce, while Bullievers (2-1) try to get back in the win column against Chapel Bulls.

Coach Talk

Prolific
Nice work, Prolific. Kudos on fielding a lineup that blew the opponent out by a whopping 50 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum going as we move on to a tricky matchup in Week 4.
Bullievers
With only three catches on five targets this past week, the starting running backs for Bullievers should remind their QBs to check down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
