COHOCTAH COWCATCHERS succumb to Jujus Best in 97.55-76.94 rout

There's no way around it, COHOCTAH COWCATCHERS underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Jujus Best cruised to a 97.55-76.94 victory. COHOCTAH COWCATCHERS pulled out to a 4.85-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Jujus Best after that. They were led by Joe Burrow (29 points) and the Denver Broncos defense (16). Tom Brady (271 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) and the Cincinnati Bengals defense (12 Pts Allowed, 328 Yds Allowed, 4 Turnovers) carried the flag for COHOCTAH COWCATCHERS in defeat. Jujus Best (1-2) will look to sustain their momentum against Rose's Nice Team, while COHOCTAH COWCATCHERS (1-2) will attempt to right the ship against Pigskin Pimps XX.
