There wasn't much drama in this one, as Big Blue earned a 54.7-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 65.6 points from Dalvin Cook (130 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 16 Rec Yds) and Russell Wilson (360 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs). Aaron Rodgers (35.9 points) and Ezekiel Elliott (24.5) did everything they could for PwnStars in defeat. Big Blue (3-1) will look to sustain their winning ways against jichanorthNJ, while PwnStars (3-1) take on Ram's Den in an effort to get back in the win column.
