Gogh Gogh Copernikus fall to u/_PaamayimNekudo... in 125.56-85.00 rout

Gogh Gogh Copernikus underperformed expectations, as u/_PaamayimNekudo... cruised to a 125.56-85.00 win.

But it was all u/_PaamayimNekudo... after that. They were led by Lamar Jackson, who passed for 169 yards and 5 touchdowns and ran for 95 yards for 36.26 points, and Zach Ertz, who caught 12 passes for 91 yards and a touchdown (21.1 points). This marks the first time this season u/_PaamayimNekudo... have gotten the best of Gogh Gogh Copernikus, after falling 128.02-110.84 in their last matchup. u/_PaamayimNekudo... (9-3) will look to add to their success against ShortBus spammers, while Gogh Gogh Copernikus (7-5) will attempt to get back on track against Steve's Team.
