Despite top scorer Mahomes, Dead Again fall to The Dogs of War in 156.2-125.1 rout

Dead Again had the premier scorer in the matchup with QB Patrick Mahomes posting 34.4 points, the seventh-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to defeat The Dogs of War, who cruised to a 156.2-125.1 win. The Dogs of War grabbed a 23.7-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind Robert Woods (33.7 points) and Travis Kelce (19.4) and never let go of it.

The Dogs of War (1-2) will look to sustain their momentum against DominationStation, while Dead Again (2-1) will take on DARC NARC in an effort to right the ship.
