Naked Bootlegs fall short of predictions, succumb to The Overkiller's, 220.50-155.95

There's no sugarcoating it, Naked Bootlegs dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as The Overkiller's earned a 220.50-155.95 victory. The Overkiller's never trailed in this one after earning a 35.25-point lead on Thursday behind Jalen Hurts (25.45 points) and Kenneth Gainwell (12.8). Patrick Mahomes (446 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 63 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Kyler Murray (175 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 60 Rush Yds) carried the flag for Naked Bootlegs in the loss. The Overkiller's (3-6) will look to notch another W against Doc's Devils, while Naked Bootlegs (5-4) will match up against PIERMONSTERS in an effort to develop some positive momentum.

Naked Bootlegs
