Despite top scorer Rodgers, PwnStars fall to Bruising Knights, 176.67-159.10

PwnStars had the top scorer in the matchup with QB Aaron Rodgers accumulating 29.17 points, the sixth-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple Bruising Knights, who earned a 176.67-159.10 win. Bruising Knights never trailed in this one after nabbing a 19.87-point lead on Thursday behind Kyler Murray (24.97 points) and DK Metcalf (12.1). Aaron Rodgers (311 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 13 Rush Yds) and Ezekiel Elliott (103 Rush Yds, 11 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the charge for PwnStars in the loss. This marks the second time this season Bruising Knights have taken down PwnStars, after winning 193.67-133.3 in their last matchup. Bruising Knights (8-3) will look to sustain their momentum against jichanorthNJ, while PwnStars (4-7) will face cheeseheads in an effort to get some positive momentum.
