Flying Squirrels top 3 KiDs for third straight win in 136.96-89.80 rout

Flying Squirrels extended their win streak to three games with an easy victory over 3 KiDs, cruising to a 136.96-89.80 win. It didn't take long to figure out who would have the advantage in the matchup, as Flying Squirrels earned a 49.96-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding performances from the New England Patriots defense (27 points) and Tom Brady (22.96). Philip Rivers (320 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Odell Beckham Jr. (6 Rec, 101 Rec Yds) carried the flag for 3 KiDs in the loss. Flying Squirrels (5-1) will look to sustain their momentum against Top Gun, while 3 KiDs (4-2) meet Rollin’ with Mahomes in an effort to right the ship.

Coach Talk

Flying Squirrels
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Flying Squirrels. It takes guts to deploy a player with zero points (Marquise Brown), while still getting the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Top Gun and we're sure to be toast!
3 KiDs
Just three field goals on five attempts? Seems like Joey Slye should reevaluate his pre-kick process after this performance.
