JYD come up short of expectations, lose to Mammoths in 158.90-99.61 rout

There's no sugarcoating it, JYD underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Mammoths cruised to a 158.90-99.61 victory. JYD nabbed a 4.00-point lead on Thursday, but Mammoths held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Cooper Kupp (9 Rec, 136 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Charles Harris (12 Tackles, 1.5 Sack). Darius Leonard (15.25 points) and the Indianapolis Colts defense (15) carried the flag for JYD in the loss. Mammoths (11-4) will look to notch another win against A-Team, while JYD (6-9) attempt to get back on track against Bishop Sycamore Bloochies.
