Motherboy fall short of predictions, succumb to Paul Crewe in 117.32-65.70 rout

There's no way around it, Motherboy dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as Paul Crewe rolled to a 117.32-65.70 victory. Motherboy earned a 7.80-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Paul Crewe after that. They were led by D'Andre Swift (26.5 points) and Kyler Murray (20.62). Christian McCaffrey (33 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 24 Rec Yds) and Marquise Brown (4 Rec, 43 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) were the leading performers for Motherboy in defeat. Paul Crewe (1-0) will look to build on their success against Joe Brrr, while Motherboy (0-1) take on The Mid Rounders in an effort to generate some positive momentum.
