2Snax knock off The Cosmos in 111.26-89.70 rout

2Snax stepped up, rolling to a 111.26-89.70 win over The Cosmos, who fell short of projections. The Cosmos nabbed a 6.6-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all 2Snax after that. They were led by Kyler Murray, who passed for 229 yards and 4 touchdowns for 33.76 points, and Adam Thielen, who caught 11 passes for 126 yards and a touchdown (18.8 points). Jonathan Taylor (145 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 13 Rec Yds) and Najee Harris (81 Rush Yds, 46 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) did everything they could for The Cosmos in defeat. 2Snax (3-3) will look to keep it rolling against Mark Davis' Revenge!, while The Cosmos (2-4) will try to get back on track against RG3PO.
