Tyler Lockett (5 Rec, 142 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Justin Jefferson (7 Rec, 79 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the way for WhentheLe'VeonBreaks in defeat. This marks the first time this season LOVE Brokers have taken down WhentheLe'VeonBreaks, after falling 135.54-115.88 in their last matchup. LOVE Brokers ends the season on a high note, but they'll miss the postseason with a record of 6-8. WhentheLe'VeonBreaks (8-6) will attempt to bounce back from this loss in the playoffs.
