Ice Up Son! fall short of projections, succumb to El Capitán, 118.0-104.0

There's no easy way to say it, Ice Up Son! didn't do their job, at least based on projections, as El Capitán earned a 118.0-104.0 win. Ice Up Son! took a 10.5-point lead on Thursday, but El Capitán held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by James Robinson, who racked up 159 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 23.5 points, and Justin Jefferson, who caught 7 passes for 70 yards and 2 touchdowns (22.5 points). The Green Bay Packers defense (25 Pts Allowed, 351 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers) and Justin Herbert (316 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) did everything they could for Ice Up Son! in the loss. This marks the second time this season El Capitán have beaten Ice Up Son!, after winning 182-97.5 in their last matchup. El Capitán (6-6) will look to add to their success against Lowered Expectations, while Ice Up Son! (9-3) meet Coupe in an effort to generate some positive momentum.
