Despite top scorer Thielen, The Overkiller's fall to HTTR! in 216.45-207.90 battle

Adam Thielen racked up 29.3 points for The Overkiller's, the best total in the matchup and 12th-best in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome HTTR!, who eked out a 216.45-207.90 win. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as HTTR! led 216.45-167.65 heading into Monday night. The Overkiller's came roaring back behind Josh Allen (263 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 18 Rush Yds) and the Tennessee Titans defense (16 Pts Allowed, 360 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers). Jared Goff (31.45 points) and Carson Wentz (26) did the heavy lifting for HTTR! in the victory. HTTR! (3-2) will look to sustain their momentum against Dirty 54, while The Overkiller's (4-1) take on Naked Bootlegs in an effort to right the ship.
