The Xtreme defeat Havoc in 158.15-110.15 rout

The Xtreme brought their A game, cruising to a 158.15-110.15 victory over Havoc, who fell short of projections. Havoc took a 2.55-point lead on Thursday, but it was all The Xtreme after that. They were led by Russell Wilson, who passed for 268 yards and 4 touchdowns and ran for 32 yards for 40.6 points, and Amari Cooper, who caught 11 passes for 226 yards and a touchdown (39.6 points). Jared Goff (395 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) and Chris Carson (118 Rush Yds) did their part for Havoc in defeat. The Xtreme (2-3) will look to build on their success against Orange bloods, while Havoc (3-2) try to get back in the win column against Enforcers.
