Despite top scorer Jackson, Havoc fall to Dirty Dogs, 161.95-152.85

Havoc had the premier scorer in the matchup with QB Lamar Jackson posting 30.95 points, the eighth-highest total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to defeat Dirty Dogs, who rallied to earn a 161.95-152.85 victory. Dirty Dogs trailed 152.85-129.85 heading into Monday night, but the unit came storming back behind the Kansas City Chiefs defense, who allowed only 10 points, surrendered 357 yards, and forced 4 turnovers for 20 points, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who racked up 91 yards from scrimmage (12.1 points). Lamar Jackson (30.95 points) and Ezekiel Elliott (20.5) did their part for Havoc in the loss. Dirty Dogs (2-2) will look to keep it rolling against Enforcers, while Havoc (1-3) will face FDC Chiefs in an effort to get back on track.
