Saquad City come back to top Phoenix’s Joker for third straight win in 197.00-155.14 rout

Saquad City extended their win streak to three games with a dominant win over Phoenix’s Joker, rolling to a 197.00-155.14 victory. Phoenix’s Joker took a 139.34-point lead during the early games on Sunday behind stellar showings from Zach Ertz (25.3 points) and Deshaun Watson (23.74). Saquad City came back to take the lead late afternoon Sunday, powered by Mike Evans (36 points) and Marvin Jones Jr. (26.6). Unphased, Phoenix’s Joker made a run later that night to take a 9.64-point lead behind Nick Folk (8 points) and Marquise Brown (7.8). But Saquad City came back again when it mattered most on Monday night, as Amari Cooper (18 points) and the Dallas Cowboys defense (18) put them back ahead for good. Saquad City (6-3) will look to maintain their winning ways against The Blues, while Phoenix’s Joker (7-2) face Darnold’s fivehead in an effort to get back on track.

Next Week Preview

Phoenix’s Joker
The outlook doesn't exactly get any rosier for second-place Phoenix’s Joker, considering they next have the distinct privilege of facing red-hot Darnold’s fivehead next week. Each side has players with byes next week, as Zach Ertz, Deshaun Watson, Nick Folk, DJ Chark Jr., N'Keal Harry, and Jay Ajayi are off for Phoenix’s Joker while DeAndre Hopkins, Kenny Stills, the Jacksonville Jaguars defense, and Sony Michel are out for Darnold’s fivehead.
Saquad City
Next week will feature two teams moving in opposite directions, as Saquad City (6-3) enter Week 10 on a three-game winning streak, while their opposition (The Blues, 2-7), have now dropped four straight. Saquad City might need to rearrange their lineup a bit with Phillip Lindsay out on bye next week. The Blues will be without Julian Edelman, the Philadelphia Eagles defense, Rex Burkhead, Royce Freeman, and Dede Westbrook. Over the last three weeks, Saquad City have put up 181.42 points per game, while The Blues have averaged only 148.68 per contest.
