Despite top scorer Watson, Illmatic fall to Mushroom🍄Mountains in 112.42-112.10 battle

Deshaun Watson had 32 points for Illmatic, the best total in the matchup and second-best in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple Mushroom🍄Mountains, who staged a comeback for a 112.42-112.10 victory. Trailing 112.10-32.20 heading into Monday night, Mushroom🍄Mountains came storming back behind Kyler Murray (28.92 points) and Kenyan Drake (28.4). Deshaun Watson (335 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 26 Rush Yds) and Younghoe Koo (4-4 FG, 50 long, 4-4 XP) did everything they could for Illmatic in defeat. Mushroom🍄Mountains (2-4) will look to add to their success against Guess not..., while Illmatic (3-3) will attempt to right the ship against PasadenvaKrunchtimeS.
