Ironman hand Groovy third consecutive loss in 131.16-96.40 romp

Ironman rolled to a 131.16-96.40 win to hand Groovy their third straight loss. Groovy grabbed a 33.40-point lead on Thursday behind standout showings from Stefon Diggs (17.7 points) and Rhamondre Stevenson (15.7). But it was all Ironman after that. They were led by Lamar Jackson (254 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 89 Rush Yds) and Nick Chubb (116 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 16 Rec Yds). This marks the second time this season Ironman have taken down Groovy, after winning 120.02-76.88 in their last matchup. Ironman (8-4) will look to keep it rolling against Auto_Tack501, while Groovy (5-7) meet Hershey Town Heroes in an effort to get back in the win column.
