Despite top scorer Jackson, Skip's Team fall to READING BLITZ, 117.48-106.10

Skip's Team had the top scorer in the matchup with QB Lamar Jackson accumulating 33.5 points, the second-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to vanquish READING BLITZ, who earned a 117.48-106.10 win. Skip's Team leapt out to a 27.00-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 21 points from Travis Kelce (6 Rec, 50 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Harrison Butker (2-2 FG, 29 long, 4-4 XP). But READING BLITZ held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Josh Allen (312 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 57 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Davante Adams (14 Rec, 156 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). READING BLITZ (1-0) will look to maintain their momentum against Ron's Eagles, while Skip's Team (0-1) will meet G7 in an effort to right the ship.
