Despite top scorer Wentz, NFL's Orphans fall to The Bandits, 267.15-247.90

NFL's Orphans had the premier scorer in the matchup with QB Carson Wentz accumulating 51.8 points, the eighth-highest total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome The Bandits, who came out on top with a 267.15-247.90 win. NFL's Orphans nabbed a 78.30-point lead on Thursday behind 67.3 points from Carson Wentz (359 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 14 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Nathan Gerry (7 Tackles, 1 Sack). But The Bandits held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Matthew Stafford, who passed for 340 yards and a touchdown for 40.8 points, and the San Francisco 49ers defense, who allowed only 6 points, surrendered 226 yards, and intercepted 4 passes (26.4 points). This marks the first time this season The Bandits have taken down NFL's Orphans, after falling 239.85-232.1 in their last matchup. The Bandits (3-4) will look to add to their success against Pablo and the Coon, while NFL's Orphans (3-4) face off against House of Drew in an effort to develop some positive momentum.
