Naked Bootlegs had the top scorer in the matchup with RB Joe Mixon posting 32.3 points, the fifth-highest total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to defeat The Overkiller's, who staged an impressive comeback for a 199.15-193.60 victory. The Overkiller's trailed 193.60-178.15 heading into Sunday night, but the squad rallied behind Jarvis Landry, who caught 6 passes for 111 yards for 15.1 points, and Nick Chubb, who racked up 39 yards from scrimmage (5.9 points). Joe Mixon (165 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and Carson Wentz (306 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 21 Rush Yds) led the way for Naked Bootlegs in the loss. This marks the second time this season The Overkiller's have gotten the best of Naked Bootlegs, after winning 174.5-172.75 in their last matchup. The Overkiller's (7-5) will look to keep it rolling against Night Hawk, while Naked Bootlegs (4-8) meet LIONPWR in an effort to right the ship.
