Despite top scorer Jefferson, The Overkiller's fall to Night Hawk, 242.30-209.30

Justin Jefferson posted 35.6 points for The Overkiller's, the best total in the matchup and third-highest in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple Night Hawk, who emerged victorious with a 242.30-209.30 win. Night Hawk earned a 79.60-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 52.05 points from Taysom Hill (264 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 101 Rush Yds) and Deonte Harris (4 Rec, 96 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). The Overkiller's bounced back to take the lead during the late games on Sunday, powered by Eli Mitchell (17.4 points) and Derek Carr (14.85). Not to be deterred, Night Hawk got it going later that night, as Jerry Jeudy (11.7 points) put them back on top for good. This marks the first time this season Night Hawk have taken down The Overkiller's, after falling 218.15-193.1 in their last matchup. Night Hawk (7-6) will look to earn another win against LIONPWR, while The Overkiller's (7-6) face PIERMONSTERS in an effort to get some positive momentum.
