Giant Squid smirk at expectations, defeat Smack Down in 179.81-174.33 battle

Giant Squid showed up and outperformed expectations, eking out a 179.81-174.33 victory over Smack Down, who fell short of projections. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as Giant Squid led 176.81-140.36 heading into Monday night. Smack Down closed the gap behind Carson Wentz (306 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Josh Doctson (3 Rec, 51 Rec Yds). Giant Squid were led by Russell Wilson (185 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 14 Rush Yds) and Chris Godwin (5 Rec, 101 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). This marks the first time this season Giant Squid have gotten the best of Smack Down, after falling 184.21-147.5 in their last matchup. Giant Squid ends the season on a high note, but they'll miss the postseason with a record of 5-8. Smack Down (7-6) will attempt to bounce back from this loss in the playoffs.
