ROGUE RAIDERS knock off Destiny Defined, 194.22-152.72

ROGUE RAIDERS brought their A game and exceeded expectations, securing a 194.22-152.72 victory over Destiny Defined, who fell short of projections. ROGUE RAIDERS earned an early 23.70-point lead on Thursday. Destiny Defined came back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by Austin Ekeler (22.7 points) and the New England Patriots defense (20). Not to be deterred, ROGUE RAIDERS rallied later that afternoon, as the Denver Broncos defense (41 points) and Kirk Cousins (34.12) put them back in the lead once and for all. ROGUE RAIDERS (2-1) will look to keep it rolling against Kaepital Punishment, while Destiny Defined (1-2) will attempt to get back on track against TLC Tigerz.

Coach Talk

ROGUE RAIDERS
Yo, ROGUE RAIDERS, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this performance. In addition to a 41.5-point victory, you also climbed a couple of spots in the league standings!
