Dongers top projections, defeat Dimension 6 in 155.48-113.72 drubbing

Dongers showed up and exceeded their projected point total, cruising to a 155.48-113.72 victory over Dimension 6, who fell short of projections. Dongers jumped out to a 45.48-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 45.48 points from Josh Allen (297 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 56 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Dawson Knox . Dimension 6 came back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by Lamar Jackson (28.72 points) and Ja'Marr Chase (23.9). Not to be deterred, Dongers rallied later that afternoon, as Justin Jefferson (34.9 points) and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (20.9) put them back ahead once and for all. Dongers (1-0) will look to add to their success against Drafting like George Paton, while Dimension 6 (0-1) meet Barcroft Motherchuckers in an effort to get back on track.
