SAWTOOTHS come up short of expectations, succumb to Negligent Discharges in 148.50-91.35 runaway

There's no easy way to say it, SAWTOOTHS didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Negligent Discharges cruised to a 148.50-91.35 victory. Negligent Discharges took a 13.30-point lead on Thursday behind Melvin Gordon III and never let go of it. Davante Adams (3 Rec, 124 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Derek Carr (241 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) did their part for SAWTOOTHS in the loss. Negligent Discharges (3-2) will look to sustain their momentum against Vultures, while SAWTOOTHS (1-4) will meet Cocks in an effort to get some positive momentum.
