Team Tadlock rolled to a 171.7-116.2 win to hand Enforcers their third consecutive loss.

Carr passed for 244 yards and 3 touchdowns for 36.2 points, while Mixon racked up 138 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns (28.8 points). Mike Evans (29.9 points) and Stefon Diggs (27.9) did their part for Enforcers in the loss. Team Tadlock (5-3) will look to sustain their winning ways against ExigentCircumstances, while Enforcers (3-5) will take on Havoc in an effort to get back in the win column.
