TaylorMade succumb to Bigoldploppers, 135.25-118.77

TaylorMade were unable to bring their A game, coming up short of their projected point total, as Bigoldploppers came out on top with a 135.25-118.77 victory. TaylorMade leapt out to a 39.8-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding showings from Amon-Ra St. Brown (23.5 points) and DeVante Parker (16.8). But Bigoldploppers held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Travis Kelce (10 Rec, 191 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Justin Herbert (236 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 16 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD). This marks the second time this season Bigoldploppers have beaten TaylorMade, after winning 131.88-111.4 in their last matchup. Bigoldploppers will look to clinch the championship next week, while TaylorMade attempt to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.
