Mananas come up short of expectations, come back to knock off Blue Skywalker in 90.90-86.94 battle

Both teams failed to rise to the occasion, coming up short of their projected point totals, but Mananas did enough to get the best of Blue Skywalker. Predicted to win 109.42-101.13, Mananas rallied for a 90.90-86.94 victory over Blue Skywalker. Mananas trailed 86.94-86.60 heading into Sunday night, but the squad rallied behind Todd Gurley II (43 Rush Yds). Marlon Mack (74 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 14 Rec Yds) and Matthew Stafford (201 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) led the way for Blue Skywalker in defeat. Mananas (2-1) will look to keep it rolling against Spokane Sith, while Blue Skywalker (2-1) try to develop some positive momentum against The Dog House.
