Back-and-forth battle ends with Wildebeasts coming back to defeat AZTECS in 99.04-62.68 rout

What a whirlwind! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, Wildebeasts cruised to a 99.04-62.68 victory to hand AZTECS their third straight loss. AZTECS got out to an early 10.00-point lead on Thursday. Wildebeasts came back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by impressive performances from Matt Ryan (24.44 points) and DeAndre Hopkins (15). Not to be deterred, AZTECS got it going later that night to take a 0.54-point lead behind the Los Angeles Rams defense (9 points). But Wildebeasts came back again when it mattered most on Monday night, as Travis Kelce (22.2 points) and Melvin Gordon III (17) put them back ahead once and for all. This marks the second time this season Wildebeasts have knocked off AZTECS, after winning 130.8-85.9 in their last matchup. Wildebeasts improve to 6-5 on the season, while AZTECS fall to 3-8.
