Desert Eagles succumb to Fools and Horses in 97-67 runaway

There's no easy way to put it, Desert Eagles dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as Fools and Horses cruised to a 97-67 victory. Desert Eagles grabbed a 10-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Fools and Horses after that. They were led by Patrick Mahomes, who passed for 423 yards and 3 touchdowns for 32 points, and Ja'Marr Chase, who caught 8 passes for 130 yards and 2 touchdowns (25 points). Nick Chubb (16 points) and Matt Ryan (11) led the charge for Desert Eagles in the loss. Fools and Horses (4-3) will look to add to their success against V for ..., while Desert Eagles (4-3) take on Keeper Reapers in an effort to right the ship.
