Demoni top RyKeRs in 151-94 rout

Despite similar records, Demoni held a substantial season point advantage over RyKeRs coming into this one (595-473), and they lived up to their reputation with a convincing win, rolling to a 151-94 victory. RyKeRs grabbed a 33-point lead on Thursday behind Tom Brady, who passed for 341 yards and 3 touchdowns. But it was all Demoni after that. They were led by James Conner (30 points) and Philip Rivers (25). Demoni (4-1) will look to sustain their winning ways against Shelpas UTD, while RyKeRs (3-2) face Državniposo in an effort to generate some positive momentum.
