Despite top scorer Luck, Super Mariota Bros fall to Dudley in 164.18-137.75 rout

Super Mariota Bros had the No. 1 scorer in the matchup with QB Andrew Luck racking up 37.7 points, the fourth-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Dudley, who cruised to a 164.18-137.75 win. Super Mariota Bros grabbed a 29.20-point lead on Thursday behind 46.7 points from Andrew Luck (365 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Stephen Gostkowski (1-1 FG, 45 long, 5-5 XP). But it was all Dudley after that. They were led by Aaron Rodgers (442 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 10 Rush Yds) and Antonio Brown (6 Rec, 101 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). Dudley (3-2) will look to earn another W against You down with JPP?, while Super Mariota Bros (3-2) try to get back on track against America's Team.
