Despite top scorer Brown, Stax's bitches fall to Windy City Hooligans, 123.00-105.94

Stax's bitches had the premier scorer in the matchup with WR A.J. Brown accumulating 30.3 points, the fifth-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to vanquish Windy City Hooligans, who came out on top with a 123.00-105.94 win. Windy City Hooligans never trailed in this one after nabbing a 4.00-point lead on Thursday behind the Denver Broncos defense. A.J. Brown (8 Rec, 133 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Kyle Pitts (7 Rec, 163 Rec Yds) led the charge for Stax's bitches in the loss. Windy City Hooligans (4-3) will look to add to their success against The Grundles, while Stax's bitches (2-5) will take on ZACH THE RIPPER in an effort to get some positive momentum.
