Offensively challenged Autumn Wind come back to defeat Bloodlust in 65.30-64.57 battle

Despite posting only the 14th-highest point total in the league for the week, Autumn Wind staged an impressive comeback for a 65.30-64.57 win over Bloodlust. Autumn Wind trailed 64.57-64.00 heading into Sunday night, but the unit made a run behind Jimmy Graham, who caught 3 passes for 20 yards for 1 points, and Demarcus Robinson, who caught 2 passes for 6 yards (0.3 points). Saquon Barkley (64 Rush Yds, 79 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Carson Wentz (172 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 35 Rush Yds) led the way for Bloodlust in the loss. Autumn Wind (4-4) will look to keep it rolling against Red Raiders, while Bloodlust (4-4) try to right the ship against Crazed Doggs.
