VIKES hand The Brady Bunch seventh straight loss in 122.92-121.70 duel

VIKES eked out a 122.92-121.70 victory to hand The Brady Bunch their seventh consecutive loss. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as VIKES led 84.62-59.30 heading into the late afternoon slate on Sunday. The Brady Bunch made them sweat behind Justin Herbert (20.1 points) and Samaje Perine (18.5). VIKES were led by Stefon Diggs, who caught 7 passes for 92 yards and a touchdown for 18.7 points, and the San Francisco 49ers defense, who allowed 17 points, surrendered 308 yards, and forced 4 turnovers (18 points). This marks the second time this season VIKES have gotten the best of The Brady Bunch, after winning 146.04-79.64 in their last matchup. VIKES (11-2) will look to keep it rolling against Lynx, while The Brady Bunch (3-10) will match up against Kenny's Pickett Fence in an effort to get back in the win column.
