The Xtreme fall short of projections, lose to Nightmares in 158.95-94.35 rout

There's no way around it, The Xtreme underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Nightmares cruised to a 158.95-94.35 victory. It didn't take long to learn who would be the frontrunner in the matchup, as Nightmares jumped out to a 67.5-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout showings from Jalen Hurts and D'Andre Swift. Hurts passed for 264 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran for 62 yards for 37.4 points, while Swift racked up 104 yards from scrimmage and caught a touchdown pass (24.4 points). Christian Kirk (24 points) and Brandin Cooks (18.2) led the way for The Xtreme in defeat. Nightmares (1-0) will look to maintain their momentum against Rooster's, while The Xtreme (0-1) will attempt to develop some positive momentum against FDC Chiefs.

Coach Talk

Nightmares
Nice job deploying a lineup that won by an impressive 64.6 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done. Let's maintain this momentum as we roll into our next matchup in Week 2.
The Xtreme
Our starting QB threw two interceptions and no touchdowns? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here: Were the Saints really that stout against the pass, or was Aaron Rodgers just that inaccurate from the pocket? The judgment is yours to make, The Xtreme, as you set your lineup in Week 2 and beyond!
