Lambeau Bleeps leapt out to a 16.92-point lead on Thursday behind stellar efforts from Aaron Rodgers (12.92 points) and Mason Crosby (4). But Sesquipedantic Squad held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Dalvin Cook (24 points) and Le'Veon Bell (17.2). Sesquipedantic Squad (1-0) will look to get another win against DITKA, while Lambeau Bleeps (0-1) will match up against Touchdown Abbey in an effort to get their first win.
