Huss Monkeys overcome negative points, top L-Diggity in 186.1-185.9 battle

Despite negative points from the Green Bay Packers defense, Huss Monkeys were able to persevere and earn the victory, squeaking by for a 186.1-185.9 win over L-Diggity. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as Huss Monkeys led 167.6-132.1 heading into the late afternoon slate on Sunday. L-Diggity made them sweat behind David Johnson (40 Rush Yds, 99 Rec Yds) and Mike Evans (4 Rec, 89 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Matt Ryan (397 Pass Yds, 18 Rush Yds) and Davante Adams (10 Rec, 180 Rec Yds) did the heavy lifting for Huss Monkeys in the victory. Huss Monkeys (3-1) will look to earn another win against Roostrs, while L-Diggity (3-1) meet Who Dat in an effort to get back in the win column.
