G7 top Eponas for seventh straight win in 122.30-73.94 rout

G7 extended their win streak to seven games with a easy victory over Eponas, rolling to a 122.30-73.94 win. Eponas grabbed a 38.04-point lead on Thursday behind impressive efforts from Drew Brees (29.44 points) and Jordan Reed (7.5). But it was all G7 after that. They were led by Saquon Barkley, who racked up 142 yards from scrimmage and scored 2 touchdowns for 26.2 points, and Emmanuel Sanders, who caught 7 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown (14.6 points). This marks the second time this season G7 have gotten the best of Eponas, after winning 102.36-92.64 in their last matchup. G7 (10-2) will look to add to their success against Royal Pita, while Eponas (6-6) will take on Skip's Team in an effort to get back in the win column.
