Mammoths fall to yard crew, 107.02-98.85

There's no sugarcoating it, Mammoths didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as yard crew came out on top with a 107.02-98.85 victory. Mammoths took a 24.30-point lead on Thursday behind a standout effort from Cooper Kupp (25.05 points). But yard crew held the lead the rest of the way, powered by D'Andre Swift (144 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 31 Rec Yds) and Leonard Fournette (127 Rush Yds, 10 Rec Yds). yard crew (1-0) will look to get another W against Strait Outta Bounds, while Mammoths (0-1) take on Laces Out in an effort to get some positive momentum.
