Tonyk 77ers fall short of expectations, lose to Desert Eagles, 93.00-82.00

There's no sugarcoating it, Tonyk 77ers underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Desert Eagles earned a 93.00-82.00 win. Desert Eagles jumped out to a 36-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout showings from Matt Breida and Tyrod Taylor. Breida racked up 159 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 21 points, while Taylor passed for 246 yards and a touchdown and ran for 26 yards (15 points) and never looked back. Travis Kelce (7 Rec, 109 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Tom Brady (234 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 10 Rush Yds) carried the flag for Tonyk 77ers in the loss. Desert Eagles (1-1) will look to keep it rolling against So Solid Spoilers, while Tonyk 77ers (0-2) will try to generate some positive momentum against Fools and Horses.
