GMan find way to defeat Motherboy in 104.38-104.02 thriller despite falling short of projections

Both teams failed to meet expectations, but GMan did enough to get the best of Motherboy. Predicted to prevail by a score of 125.28-117.91, GMan squeaked by for a 104.38-104.02 win over Motherboy. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as GMan led 89.48-36.20 heading into the late afternoon slate on Sunday. Motherboy came roaring back behind Tom Brady, who passed for 363 yards , ran for 16 yards and scored 3 touchdowns (30.12 points), and Brandon Aiyuk, who caught 6 passes for 62 yards and a touchdown (18.6). The Dallas Cowboys defense (26.5 points) and Justin Jefferson (20.5) were the stars for GMan in the victory. GMan ends the season on a high note, but they'll miss the postseason with a record of 6-8. Motherboy (7-7) will attempt to bounce back from this loss in the playoffs.
