Fubar fall to The Little Giants in 137.12-113.52 romp

Fubar underachieved compared to projections, as The Little Giants rolled to a 137.12-113.52 victory. There wasn't much drama in the matchup, as The Little Giants leapt out to a 42.7-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind stellar showings from Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens defense. Jackson passed for 218 yards , ran for 107 yards and scored 5 touchdowns for 50.42 points, while the Ravens defense allowed 26 points, surrendered 447 yards, and forced 4 turnovers (16.2 points). Saquon Barkley (81 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 45 Rec Yds) and Patrick Mahomes (262 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 26 Rush Yds) did everything they could for Fubar in the loss. The Little Giants (1-2) will look to keep it rolling against I'm Thinkin' RBs, while Fubar (1-2) will face PowderPuff Girls in an effort to get back on track.
