Springfield Atoms come up short of expectations, come back to beat Naperville Methlab, 79-74
Both teams failed to bring their A game, but Springfield Atoms did enough to take down Naperville Methlab, coming back to earn a 79-74 win. Trailing 74-62 heading into Monday night, Springfield Atoms roared back behind the San Francisco 49ers defense, who allowed only 10 points, surrendered 278 yards, and intercepted 2 passes for 13 points, and Darrell Henderson Jr., who ran for 31 yards (4 points). DeVonta Smith (4 Rec, 66 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Mark Ingram II (47 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 61 Rec Yds) led the way for Naperville Methlab in defeat. Springfield Atoms (3-7) will look to maintain their winning ways against Arizona Mini Teeth, while Naperville Methlab (6-4) try to right the ship against Dak to the Future.
Projected to score 2.98 points, the 49ers defense more-than-quadrupled that amount by scoring 13 points in a 31-10 win over the Rams. They allowed only 10 points, surrendered 278 yards, and intercepted 2 passes to beat their projection by the second-highest percentage of any player in the league this season. In Week 11, the 49ers will square off against the Jaguars.

Springfield Atoms
In a battle between squads sporting identical 3-7 records, Springfield Atoms and Arizona Mini Teeth are set to go at it next week in a mid-season matchup. Springfield Atoms may need to rearrange the deck a bit with Darrell Henderson Jr. out on bye next week. Arizona Mini Teeth won't have Jerry Jeudy or Javonte Williams. Over the last three weeks, Springfield Atoms have put up 66 points per game, while Arizona Mini Teeth have averaged 75.67 per contest.
Naperville Methlab
The outlook doesn't immediately get much brighter for fourth-place Naperville Methlab, as they now have the distinct privilege of facing first-place and red-hot Dak to the Future in Week 11. With no bye-week players to worry about in Week 11, both Springfield Atoms and Arizona Mini Teeth will be at full strength.
