Super Mario-Ta lose to Tom's Team in 135.44-95.16 rout

Super Mario-Ta were unable to bring their A game, coming up short of projections, as Tom's Team cruised to a 135.44-95.16 win. It didn't take long to figure out who would have the advantage in this one, as Tom's Team jumped out to a 61.94-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout showings from Todd Gurley II and Mike Evans. Gurley II racked up 195 yards from scrimmage and caught a touchdown pass for 33.5 points, while Evans caught 6 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown (29.9 points). Kirk Cousins (359 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Travis Kelce (6 Rec, 79 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did everything they could for Super Mario-Ta in defeat. Tom's Team (5-3) will look to get another W against Turn ur head n Goff, while Super Mario-Ta (4-4) attempt to get some positive momentum against Packer backer.
