Django knock off Chiefs for third straight win in 146-85 rout
Django extended their win streak to three games with an easy win over Chiefs, rolling to a 146-85 victory. The matchup was decided before it really even started, as Django jumped out to a 133-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 77 points from Aaron Rodgers (283 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs) and the Los Angeles Chargers defense (29 Pts Allowed, 275 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers). The Kansas City Chiefs defense (16 Pts Allowed, 391 Yds Allowed, 4 Turnovers) and Patrick Mahomes (200 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) carried the flag for Chiefs in the loss. Django (6-1) will look to keep it rolling against Pepper Pike Vikings, while Chiefs (1-6) will face BLACK RAIDERS in an effort to get back on track.
