Simmons rolled to a 114.6-46.9 win to hand Yobogoya! their third consecutive loss.

Antonio Brown (5 Rec, 62 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Russell Wilson (172 Pass Yds, 21 Rush Yds) were the top scorers for Yobogoya! in defeat. Simmons (3-1) will look to keep it rolling against Tommy P, while Yobogoya! (1-3) will try to get back on track against Pull Out Game.
