Madden Legend overcome multiple busts, beat Team 23, 163.20-156.46

Despite two starters putting up 0 points (the Carolina Panthers defense and Matt Longacre), Madden Legend were able to persevere and earn the victory, securing a 163.20-156.46 win over Team 23. Team 23 leapt out to a 9.25-point lead on Thursday, but Madden Legend held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Kirk Cousins, who passed for 425 yards and 4 touchdowns for 54.7 points, and Stefon Diggs, who caught 9 passes for 128 yards and 2 touchdowns (29.5 points), while Jared Goff (29.16 points) and Mason Crosby (18.5) led the charge for Team 23 in the loss. Madden Legend (2-0) will look to keep it rolling against Dudley, while Team 23 (0-2) will take on Hammerin Hank in an effort to generate some positive momentum.
