Phantom X manage to top Jeremy's Team 210-163 despite coming up short of projections

Despite being unable to bring their A game, Phantom X emerged victorious with a 210-163 win over Jeremy's Team. Phantom X never trailed in this one after grabbing an 8-point lead on Thursday behind David Montgomery. Lamar Jackson (145 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 40 Rush Yds) and Kenny Golladay (6 Rec, 58 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the charge for Jeremy's Team in the loss. This marks the second time this season Phantom X have knocked off Jeremy's Team, after winning 242-151 in their last matchup. Phantom X will look to not lose that winning feeling in the semifinal round next week, while Jeremy's Team seek to rebound and lock up a top-6 finish.
