๐Ÿ‘พ overcome multiple busts, knock off *CamBo*, 126.14-114.50

Despite multiple starters putting up goose eggs (Mike Evans, Greg Olsen, and Devin McCourty), ๐Ÿ‘พ were able to persevere and earn the win, earning a 126.14-114.50 victory over *CamBo*. ๐Ÿ‘พ grabbed a 34.92-point lead on Thursday behind impressive showings from Russell Wilson (32.92 points) and John Johnson III (2). *CamBo* came back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by Leonard Fournette (20.7 points) and Calvin Ridley (14.8). Not to be deterred, ๐Ÿ‘พ rallied later that afternoon, as Aaron Jones (42.2 points) and Keenan Allen (1.8) put them back ahead once and for all. ๐Ÿ‘พ (3-2) will look to earn another win against JustTheTip, while *CamBo* (3-2) attempt to generate some positive momentum against BLAZER$$.
