Despite top scorer Jacobs, Beloglavi fall to Desert Eagles, 100-85

Beloglavi had the highest scorer in the matchup with RB Josh Jacobs posting 26 points, the 10th-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to defeat Desert Eagles, who secured a 100-85 win. Beloglavi took an 18-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 18 points from Todd Gurley II (51 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and the Los Angeles Rams defense (30 Pts Allowed, 429 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers). But Desert Eagles held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Chris Godwin (7 Rec, 125 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Sony Michel (91 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 32 Rec Yds). Desert Eagles (3-2) will look to keep it rolling against V for ..., while Beloglavi (2-3) face Fools and Horses in an effort to get back on track.
