Despite top scorer Hill, NYC fall to Bigblue, 66-63

NYC had the No. 1 scorer in the matchup with WR Tyreek Hill racking up 16 points, the 13th-highest total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Bigblue, who came from behind for a 66-63 victory. Trailing 62-56 heading into Sunday night, Bigblue came storming back behind Travis Fulgham (9 points) and Jake Elliott (1). Tyreek Hill (4 Rec, 98 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Lamar Jackson (208 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 65 Rush Yds) carried the flag for NYC in the loss. Bigblue (2-6) will look to get another win against Top shotta, while NYC (3-5) will attempt to right the ship against Brooklyn Bandits.
