The Kaptains knock off The Punisher for fourth straight win in 63-61 battle

The Kaptains extended their win streak to four games with a narrow win over The Punisher, narrowly earning a 63-61 victory. The Kaptains led 62-61 heading into Monday night with one player left to play. They were fortunate to have the lead already, as Adrian Peterson (2 Rec, 36 Rec Yds) didn't do much to pad their point total. Ben Roethlisberger (250 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 16 Rush Yds) and the Buffalo Bills defense (12 Pts Allowed, 221 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers) led the charge for The Punisher in the loss. The Kaptains (4-1) will look to rack up another win against NYC, while The Punisher (2-3) will match up against DYNASTY in an effort to generate some positive momentum.
