Rooster's fall to Nightmares in 163.60-135.40 runaway

There's no sugarcoating it, Rooster's dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as Nightmares cruised to a 163.60-135.40 win. Rooster's pulled out to a 24.70-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Nightmares after that. They were led by Jalen Hurts, who passed for 190 yards and ran for 82 yards and a touchdown for 23.7 points, and Henry Ruggs III, who caught 5 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown (23.6 points). Russell Wilson (30.75 points) and Terry McLaurin (27.7) led the charge for Rooster's in defeat. Nightmares (2-0) will look to get another win against GreatPlainsDrifters, while Rooster's (0-2) will try to get back on track against FDC Chiefs.

Nightmares
Yo, Nightmares, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this blowout. In addition to a 28.2-point victory, you also jumped up from fifth place to second in the league standings!
