Gronkey Kong fall short of expectations, succumb to Headatitis in 123-92 landslide

There's no sugarcoating it, Gronkey Kong underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Headatitis cruised to a 123-92 victory. This matchup was over before it really even started, as Headatitis jumped out to a 37-point lead on Thursday behind 37 points from Carson Wentz (272 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 13 Rush Yds) and the Indianapolis Colts defense (30 Pts Allowed, 486 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers). Matthew Stafford (294 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 13 Rush Yds) and Stefon Diggs (6 Rec, 85 Rec Yds) did their part for Gronkey Kong in the loss. Headatitis (2-7) will look to add to their success against Full Chubb, while Gronkey Kong (2-7) take on Hendrix Purple Haze in an effort to right the ship.
