AngryBirdman had the top scorer in the matchup with QB Tom Brady posting 41.85 points, the third-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Bad Boys, who staged an impressive comeback for a 148.60-143.75 win. After trailing 143.75-116.70 heading into Monday night, Bad Boys came storming back behind Jonathan Taylor, who racked up 169 yards from scrimmage and scored 2 touchdowns for 31.9 points.
