Cam Newton accumulated 32.6 points for Boko Harambe, the best total in the matchup and third-highest in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome TASTE THE RAINBOW, who secured a 116.48-110.80 win. Boko Harambe grabbed a 5.80-point lead on Thursday, but TASTE THE RAINBOW held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by the Seattle Seahawks defense (13 Pts Allowed, 303 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers) and Russell Wilson (192 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs). Cam Newton (150 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 36 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and Isaiah Crowell (34 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 17 Rec Yds) were the leading performers for Boko Harambe in the loss. TASTE THE RAINBOW (1-2) will look to keep it rolling against Vicious Penquins, while Boko Harambe (2-1) attempt to get back in the win column against Dicking Bimbos.
