Novaforce nabbed a 36.32-point lead on Thursday behind 41.32 points from DeAndre Hopkins (6 Rec, 94 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Deshaun Watson (298 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 10 Rush Yds) and never looked back. Mark Ingram II (111 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Zach Ertz (12 Rec, 91 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did everything they could for Owen Sixteen in the loss.
