Offensively challenged Smack down boyz come back to top Elijah’s Elite Team in 180.3-177.9 struggle

Ranking 10th in the league in points scored for the week, Smack down boyz were fortunate to earn a victory against a team that had an even worse week, coming from behind to earn a 180.3-177.9 victory over Elijah’s Elite Team. Despite trailing 177.9-175.3 heading into Monday night, Smack down boyz rallied behind Greg Zuerlein (5-6 XP). Justin Herbert (281 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 16 Rush Yds) and Saquon Barkley (51 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 43 Rec Yds) carried the flag for Elijah’s Elite Team in the loss. Smack down boyz (2-1) will look to keep it rolling against PJ, while Elijah’s Elite Team (0-3) will try to get some positive momentum against K Bizzle's Team.
