Despite top scorer Allen, Evil Clowns fall to Wallywood, 117.10-106.05

Josh Allen accumulated 40.45 points for Evil Clowns, the best total in the matchup and second-best in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple Wallywood, who earned a 117.10-106.05 win. Evil Clowns nabbed a 29.65-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding performances from Josh Allen, who passed for 297 yards , ran for 56 yards and scored 4 touchdowns for 40.45 points, and Tyler Bass, who made his only FG attempt (8 points). But Wallywood held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Kyler Murray (26.55 points) and Cooper Kupp (18.8). Wallywood (1-0) will look to notch another W against Puremichigan, while Evil Clowns (0-1) will face Burt Bombers in an effort to get back on track.
