Unable to overcome starter's goose egg, Team Pluto fall to Silver Fox in 107.10-77.50 beatdown

Silver Fox pulled out to a 20.84-point lead on Thursday behind Justin Jefferson (20.34 points) and CeeDee Lamb (11.7) and never let it go. Kenneth Walker III (26 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 13 Rec Yds) and Samaje Perine (58 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 35 Rec Yds) carried the flag for Team Pluto in defeat. This marks the second time this season Silver Fox have beaten Team Pluto, after winning 89.26-65.94 in their last matchup. Silver Fox (7-5) will look to keep it rolling against Charknado, while Team Pluto (5-7) will try to right the ship against Ducks.
