Jacob's Team fall short of expectations, succumb to The Benchwarmers in 164.46-85.02 rout

Jacob's Team failed to bring their A game, as The Benchwarmers rolled to a 164.46-85.02 win. The Benchwarmers nabbed an early 7.00-point lead on Thursday. Jacob's Team came back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by J.D. McKissic (17.9 points) and Deshaun Watson (14.12). Not to be deterred, The Benchwarmers got it going later that afternoon, as JuJu Smith-Schuster (22.7 points) and Tua Tagovailoa (15.66) put them back in the lead once and for all. This marks the second time this season The Benchwarmers have knocked off Jacob's Team, after winning 139.7-113.42 in their last matchup. The Benchwarmers (3-7) will look to maintain their momentum against TC Williams, while Jacob's Team (4-6) try to right the ship against The McFadden Curse.
