SAINTS hand CRUSH 13th straight loss in 113.72-69.70 rout

SAINTS cruised to a 113.72-69.70 victory to hand CRUSH their 13th consecutive loss to open the season. CRUSH earned an 18.14-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 31.94 points from Jonathan Taylor (91 Rush Yds, 44 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Jarvis Landry (8 Rec, 62 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). But it was all SAINTS after that. They were led by Aaron Jones, who racked up 148 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 23.8 points, and Nick Chubb, who racked up 106 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown (16.6 points). This marks the second time this season SAINTS have gotten the best of CRUSH, after winning 165.94-95.82 in their last matchup. SAINTS (7-6) will look to sustain their momentum against FirstHalf NGL’s, while CRUSH (0-13) meet Mike in an effort to get back on track.
