London Gentlemen knock off Drones in 95.5-65.0 runaway

London Gentlemen outperformed their projected point total, cruising to a 95.5-65.0 victory over Drones, who fell short of projections. Drones jumped out to a 15.0-point lead on Thursday behind a standout showing from the Philadelphia Eagles defense (17 Pts Allowed, 303 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers). But it was all London Gentlemen after that. They were led by Justin Fields, who ran for 178 yards , passed for 123 yards and scored 4 touchdowns for 28 points, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense, who allowed only 13 points and gave up 206 yards (19 points). London Gentlemen (4-5) will look to maintain their momentum against Assimilate THIS, while Drones (4-5) try to right the ship against Spoon.
