Its_Primetime come up short of predictions, lose to Rabid Otters in 105.98-75.74 drubbing

There's no sugarcoating it, Its_Primetime underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Rabid Otters rolled to a 105.98-75.74 win. There was very little drama in this matchup, as Rabid Otters nabbed a 47.38-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 31.7 points from Deon Jackson (42 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 79 Rec Yds) and Allen Lazard (4 Rec, 76 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Patrick Mahomes (338 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 21 Rush Yds) and Darrell Henderson Jr. (43 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) carried the flag for Its_Primetime in the loss. Rabid Otters (5-1) will look to build on their success against Wizards, while Its_Primetime (2-4) will face off against BGMoney II in an effort to get back on track.
