Offensively challenged Warriors knock off Double E, 98.30-61.90

Warriors secured a 98.30-61.90 win over Double E despite ranking only eighth in the league in points scored for the week. Double E jumped out to a 13.80-point lead on Thursday behind an outstanding showing from Kyler Murray (274 Pass Yds, 21 Rush Yds). But Warriors held the lead the rest of the way, powered by the Washington Football Team defense (17 Pts Allowed, 273 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers) and Keenan Allen (6 Rec, 77 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). This marks the first time this season Warriors have gotten the best of Double E, after falling 116.6-112.25 in their last matchup. Warriors (3-5) will look to maintain their momentum against Steel City Mutt, while Double E (2-6) will take on Steel City Divas in an effort to get back in the win column.
