Offensively challenged Sherlock Mahomes top Team Overrated, 74.72-65.92

With the 11th-ranked point total in the league for the week, Sherlock Mahomes were fortunate to earn a win against an opponent that had an even worse week, coming out on top with a 74.72-65.92 win over Team Overrated. Team Overrated nabbed a 20.20-point lead on Thursday behind impressive performances from the New England Patriots defense, who allowed 14 points, surrendered 213 yards, and forced 4 turnovers for 27 points, and James White, who caught 9 passes for 46 yards (4.5 points). But Sherlock Mahomes held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Patrick Mahomes (273 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Sony Michel (86 Rush Yds, 27 Rec Yds). Sherlock Mahomes (2-4) will look to get another W against The real Eric, while Team Overrated (2-4) will try to generate some positive momentum against MGKvsBRD.
