Balls deep top Cock Fighters for sixth straight win, 213.33-195.31

Balls deep extended their win streak to six games with a hard-fought win over Cock Fighters, emerging victorious with a 213.33-195.31 victory. Cock Fighters nabbed a 37.38-point lead on Thursday, but Balls deep held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by the Buffalo Bills defense, who allowed only 13 points and gave up 313 yards for 33.74 points, and Chris Carson, who racked up 148 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown (27.5 points). Mike Williams (19 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 76 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Baker Mayfield (188 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) were the leaders for Cock Fighters in the loss. This marks the first time this season Balls deep have taken down Cock Fighters, after falling 235.78-216.78 in their last matchup. Balls deep will look to not lose that winning feeling in the Championship next week, while Cock Fighters attempt to bounce back and lock up 3rd Place.

The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 14 stood at 210.63.
