BULLDOG fall short of projections, succumb to STINGERS, 104.94-87.70

There's no sugarcoating it, BULLDOG underdelivered, at least according to projections, as STINGERS secured a 104.94-87.70 win. BULLDOG grabbed a 16.10-point lead on Thursday, but STINGERS held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Gabe Davis (6 Rec, 93 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Travis Kelce (6 Rec, 81 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Tua Tagovailoa (285 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Tony Pollard (115 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 13 Rec Yds) led the charge for BULLDOG in the loss. This marks the second time this season STINGERS have gotten the best of BULLDOG, after winning 112.96-101.02 in their last matchup. STINGERS (4-6) will look to build on their success against Peteyboi510, while BULLDOG (4-6) face bobtoo999's Optimal Team in an effort to right the ship.
