Gladiators knock off SKINS in 120-81 rout

Gladiators outperformed expectations, cruising to a 120-81 victory over SKINS, who fell short of projections. There wasn't much drama in the matchup, as Gladiators jumped out to a 44-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 52 points from Darren Waller (13 Rec, 200 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and the Las Vegas Raiders defense (28 Pts Allowed, 376 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers). Patrick Mahomes (318 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 26 Rush Yds) and Harrison Butker (5-5 FG, 48 long, 1-1 XP) were the leading scorers for SKINS in defeat. This marks the second time this season Gladiators have knocked off SKINS, after winning 105-103 in their last matchup. Gladiators (7-6) will look to keep it rolling in the playoffs, while SKINS (6-6-1) will attempt to bounce back and make a run of their own in the postseason.
