Swift Beatings beat projections, knock off Tossin' TDs in 144.54-143.20 duel

Both teams stepped up, but Swift Beatings took down Tossin' TDs, eking out a 144.54-143.20 win. Swift Beatings led 143.54-143.20 heading into Monday night with one player left to play. They were fortunate to have the lead already, as Evan McPherson (0-1 FG, 0 long, 1-2 XP) didn't do much to pad their point total. Alvin Kamara (38.3 points) and Jalen Hurts (28.4) did their part for Tossin' TDs in the loss. Swift Beatings (4-4) will look to keep it rolling against Patrick's Primo Team, while Tossin' TDs (2-6) will face Daniels's Dandy Team in an effort to right the ship.
