Despite top scorer Jackson, RedZone fall to H-block in 138.10-114.06 rout

RedZone had the highest scorer in the matchup with QB Lamar Jackson racking up 33.56 points, the second-highest total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple H-block, who cruised to a 138.10-114.06 win. RedZone pulled out to a 5.50-point lead on Thursday, but it was all H-block after that. They were led by Carson Wentz, who passed for 313 yards and 3 touchdowns for 25.02 points, and David Johnson, who racked up 137 yards from scrimmage and caught a touchdown pass (19.7 points). Lamar Jackson (324 Pass Yds, 5 Pass TDs) and Derrick Henry (84 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 75 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did everything they could for RedZone in defeat. H-block (1-0) will look to keep it rolling against Bad JuJu, while RedZone (0-1) will try to get back on track against PigSkinFucker!oohh!!.
