Jimmy Garoppolo accumulated 29.28 points for Mayfields, the best total in the matchup and sixth-highest in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Arin Johnson's Team, who earned a 128.64-121.92 victory. Mayfields nabbed a 47.32-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 48.38 points from Jimmy Garoppolo (322 Pass Yds) and Deebo Samuel (6 Rec, 171 Rec Yds). But Arin Johnson's Team held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Michael Pittman Jr., who caught 10 passes for 86 yards and 2 touchdowns for 20.6 points, and Chris Godwin, who caught 8 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown (20 points). Arin Johnson's Team (6-2) will look to earn another win against Butt Ruckers, while Mayfields (4-4) take on Michael's Misfits in an effort to get some positive momentum.
