Yeti Attack! fall short of predictions, succumb to The Fighting Sloth in 105.72-60.90 beatdown

There's no easy way to say it, Yeti Attack! underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as The Fighting Sloth rolled to a 105.72-60.90 victory. There wasn't much drama in this one, as The Fighting Sloth nabbed a 52.4-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 42.5 points from D'Andre Swift (144 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 31 Rec Yds) and Kareem Hunt (46 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 24 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Clyde Edwards-Helaire (42 Rush Yds, 32 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Christian McCaffrey (33 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 24 Rec Yds) did everything they could for Yeti Attack! in defeat. The Fighting Sloth (1-0) will look to notch another win against Abominable Tardigrades, while Yeti Attack! (0-1) attempt to right the ship against The Phantom Limbs.
