Offensively challenged WarEagle defeat Cocks in 119.9-118.6 battle

Carson Wentz (286 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 28 Rush Yds) and Davante Adams (5 Rec, 133 Rec Yds) won the week for WarEagle in the victory. WarEagle (3-5) will look to sustain their winning ways against Mutinous Apes, while Cocks (5-3) take on Negligent Discharges in an effort to get back in the win column.
