Despite top scorer Jones, SS 70'S fall to Titletown, 110.55-101.00

Aaron Jones racked up 42.2 points for SS 70'S, the highest total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to defeat Titletown, who secured a 110.55-101.00 win. SS 70'S earned a 10.20-point lead on Thursday, but Titletown held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by the Philadelphia Eagles defense, who allowed only 6 points, surrendered 128 yards, and forced 3 turnovers for 38.9 points, and Ezekiel Elliott, who racked up 91 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown (15.1 points). Aaron Jones (107 Rush Yds, 4 Rush TDs, 75 Rec Yds) and the Chicago Bears defense (24 Pts Allowed, 398 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) were the leading scorers for SS 70'S in the loss. Titletown (4-1) will look to earn another win against Marino Rules, while SS 70'S (3-2) face The Fancy Fish in an effort to get back on track.
