Offensively challenged Blacktips top Burger Tyme in 82.12-79.30 battle

Ranking ninth in the league in points scored for the week, Blacktips were lucky to earn a victory against a team that had an even worse week, eking out an 82.12-79.30 victory over Burger Tyme. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as Blacktips led 78.12-59.30 heading into Monday night. Burger Tyme made them sweat behind Lamar Jackson, who passed for 235 yards and a touchdown and ran for 86 yards for 20 points. CeeDee Lamb (7 Rec, 104 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Ryan Tannehill (212 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 17 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) led the way for Blacktips in the victory. Blacktips (1-0) will look to add to their success against Fresh Prince of Helaire, while Burger Tyme (0-1) will try to get back on track against RG3PO.
