Deez trailed 116.76-113.78 heading into Monday night, but the squad staged a comeback behind Travis Kelce, who caught 7 passes for 78 yards and a touchdown for 13.8 points, and the Denver Broncos defense, who allowed 27 points and 446 yards (1 points). Deez (4-0) have now won four straight and will look to notch another win against Some big ass TDs. Slap The Chef (1-3) meet Mr& Mrs.Moore in an effort to get back in the win column.
