Unable to overcome starter's goose egg, Rachel's Team fall to The Champ, 125-116

Hindered by a goose egg from Ben Roethlisberger, Rachel's Team were unable to overcome The Champ, which came out on top with a 125-116 victory. The Champ grabbed an early 10-point lead on Thursday. Rachel's Team bounced back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by Stefon Diggs (27 points) and the Indianapolis Colts defense (18). Not to be deterred, The Champ rallied later that night, as Patrick Mahomes (45 points) put them back on top for good. The Champ (5-4) will look to add to their success against Raider Nation, while Rachel's Team (3-6) will face off against JTime in an effort to develop some positive momentum.
