Hard Knockers find way to top Jumpin Jack in 141.4-99.4 rout despite falling short of predictions

Both teams were unable to rise to the occasion, but Hard Knockers did enough to get the best of Jumpin Jack, cruising to a 141.4-99.4 win. Jumpin Jack jumped out to a 33.8-point lead on Thursday behind 33.8 points from Carson Wentz (160 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 13 Rush Yds) and Zach Ertz (7 Rec, 65 Rec Yds). But it was all Hard Knockers after that. They were led by Christian McCaffrey (93 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 86 Rec Yds) and Mason Rudolph (229 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs). Hard Knockers (3-1) will look to build on their success against Dalton's Crew, while Jumpin Jack (2-2) attempt to get some positive momentum against Low Ballers.
