2Snax come back to hand The Cosmos third straight loss in 98.46-95.42 nailbiter

2Snax staged an impressive comeback to earn a 98.46-95.42 win to hand The Cosmos their third straight loss. After trailing 95.42-77.96 heading into Monday night, 2Snax charged back behind Devontae Booker, who racked up 125 yards from scrimmage for 12.5 points, and Harrison Butker, who made both of his FG attempts (8 points). Jonathan Taylor (70 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 52 Rec Yds) and Najee Harris (91 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 29 Rec Yds) did everything they could for The Cosmos in defeat. This marks the second time this season 2Snax have gotten the best of The Cosmos, after winning 111.26-89.7 in their last matchup. 2Snax (4-4) will look to build on their success against OJ'S GLOVES, while The Cosmos (2-6) will attempt to get some positive momentum against Fresh Prince of Helaire.
