Sayers Monsters succumb to TX4vida, 122.46-102.84

There's no easy way to say it, Sayers Monsters didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as TX4vida came from behind to earn a 122.46-102.84 victory. TX4vida trailed 99.04-79.28 heading into Monday night, but the squad charged back behind Joe Flacco, who passed for 262 yards and 3 touchdowns for 27.48 points, and Rex Burkhead, who racked up 67 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown (12.7 points). Tua Tagovailoa (248 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 35 Rush Yds) and Ryan Tannehill (158 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) carried the flag for Sayers Monsters in the loss. TX4vida (4-5) will look to sustain their momentum against iCuRaRook, while Sayers Monsters (6-3) meet Old Leather Balls in an effort to get back in the win column.
