Despite top scorer Jacobs, General Jakobi fall to Wentzamania in 208.36-203.00 squeaker

General Jakobi had the No. 1 scorer in the matchup with RB Josh Jacobs racking up 35 points, the second-highest total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Wentzamania, who squeaked by for a 208.36-203.00 win. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as Wentzamania led 201.86-140.90 heading into Monday night. General Jakobi made them sweat behind Rhamondre Stevenson, who racked up 98 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 22.8 points, and Matthew Judon, who made 4 tackles and recorded 2.5 sacks (16 points). Wentzamania were led by Ja'Marr Chase, who caught 8 passes for 130 yards and 2 touchdowns for 29 points, and Ezekiel Elliott, who ran for 57 yards and 2 touchdowns (17.7 points). Wentzamania (4-3) will look to keep it rolling against Living on Burrowed Time, while General Jakobi (3-4) will take on I Fell In It The Pitts in an effort to get back in the win column.
