Big Ballers fall short of expectations, succumb to Simmons in 132.3-83.9 blowout

There's no way around it, Big Ballers underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Simmons cruised to a 132.3-83.9 win. Big Ballers jumped out to a 17.4-point lead on Thursday behind 20.9 points from Tyreek Hill, who caught 10 passes for 160 yards . But it was all Simmons after that. They were led by Miles Sanders (134 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 22 Rec Yds) and Jamaal Williams (108 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs). Simmons (3-1) will look to keep it rolling against Tommy P, while Big Ballers (3-1) will match up against Mixon it Up in an effort to get back on track.
