Hacky's Team earned a 26.30-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding efforts from Hayden Hurst, who caught 5 passes for 54 yards for 10.4 points, and Mike Davis, who racked up 77 yards from scrimmage (8.7 points). But jakemichael247 held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Tyreek Hill (4 Rec, 98 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Jared Cook (5 Rec, 51 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). jakemichael247 (4-4) will look to add to their success against Law’s Squad, while Hacky's Team (6-2) will attempt to get back on track against Hammertime.
