Back-and-forth battle ends with The Graveyard coming back to beat Bad JuJu in 172.72-150.26 rout

Well, that was thrilling! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, The Graveyard cruised to a 172.72-150.26 victory to hand Bad JuJu their fifth straight loss. Bad JuJu grabbed an early 15.00-point lead on Thursday. The Graveyard came back to take the lead during the late games on Sunday, powered by Drew Brees (38.52 points). Not to be deterred, Bad JuJu made a run later that night to take a 26.34-point lead behind Stefon Diggs (31.6 points) and Tarik Cohen (6). But The Graveyard came back again when it mattered most on Monday night, as Travis Kelce (28.7 points) and Brandin Cooks (18.7) put them back ahead once and for all. The Graveyard (6-5) will look to add to their success against King of the North 👑, while Bad JuJu (3-7-1) try to get some positive momentum against Blitz for six.
