Gritz Blitz come up short of projections, still manage to defeat Warriors, 81.0-71.0

Full of promise, Gritz Blitz underdelivered, at least compared to projections. Still, they emerged victorious with an 81.0-71.0 victory over Warriors. Warriors nabbed an 11.0-point lead on Thursday, but Gritz Blitz held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Stefon Diggs (8 Rec, 122 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and the Washington Commanders defense (22 Pts Allowed, 383 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers). Cooper Kupp (13 Rec, 128 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (8 Rec, 64 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did their part for Warriors in the loss. Gritz Blitz (1-0) will look to build on their success against London Gentlemen, while Warriors (0-1) meet Drones in an effort to right the ship.
