Both teams failed to bring their A game, coming up short of projections, but Axel did enough to take down MangoKid. Predicted to win 225.80-192.38, Axel came from behind for a 189.96-152.94 win over MangoKid. Axel trailed 144.84-133.50 heading into Sunday night, but the unit charged back behind Lamar Jackson (239 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 107 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and Mark Andrews (5 Rec, 57 Rec Yds).
