Rogue Demon Hunters eked out a 111-108 victory to hand Gandalf's Staff their third straight loss. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as Rogue Demon Hunters led 111-76 heading into Monday night. Gandalf's Staff made it interesting behind the Pittsburgh Steelers defense (27 Pts Allowed, 414 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) and Chris Boswell (3-3 FG, 54 long, 2-3 XP). Rogue Demon Hunters were led by Joe Mixon, who racked up 110 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns for 31 points, and Jaylen Waddle, who caught 8 passes for 83 yards (21 points). This marks the second time this season Rogue Demon Hunters have beaten Gandalf's Staff, after winning 161-153 in their last matchup. Rogue Demon Hunters (4-4-1) will look to keep it rolling against Green Knights, while Gandalf's Staff (3-6) will meet RUMblin Bumblers in an effort to get back in the win column.
