Despite top scorer Herbert, Doom fall to The Equalizer, 142.00-122.75

Doom had the top scorer in the matchup with QB Justin Herbert accumulating 33.65 points, the second-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome The Equalizer, who emerged victorious with a 142.00-122.75 win. The Equalizer leapt out to a 50.45-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind standout showings from Patrick Mahomes (27.5 points) and James Robinson (25.4) and never looked back. Justin Herbert (281 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 16 Rush Yds) and Derrick Henry (113 Rush Yds, 31 Rec Yds) did their part for Doom in the loss. The Equalizer (2-1) will look to keep it rolling against Ego Crushers, while Doom (2-1) seek to get back in the win column against Judge Dredd Online.
