Michael's Unreal Team come up short of predictions, succumb to 2 × Champ in 173.16-118.18 rout

Michael's Unreal Team failed to rise to the occasion, falling short of their projected point total, as 2 × Champ cruised to a 173.16-118.18 victory. Michael's Unreal Team earned a 7.90-point lead on Thursday, but it was all 2 × Champ after that. They were led by Jalen Hurts, who passed for 264 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran for 62 yards for 34.76 points, and Tyler Lockett, who caught 4 passes for 100 yards and 2 touchdowns (32 points). Chris Godwin (27.5 points) and the Minnesota Vikings defense (21) were the leaders for Michael's Unreal Team in the loss. 2 × Champ (1-0) will look to add to their success against THE CHOSEN ONE, while Michael's Unreal Team (0-1) attempt to right the ship against 47 Ronin.
