Despite top scorer Allen, Coach's Cats fall to Touchdown Tigers, 120.86-103.34

Coach's Cats had the No. 1 scorer in the matchup with QB Josh Allen posting 31.54 points, the third-highest total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Touchdown Tigers, who secured a 120.86-103.34 win. Coach's Cats took a 29.74-point lead on Thursday behind a standout performance from Josh Allen (297 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 56 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD). But Touchdown Tigers held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Lamar Jackson, who passed for 213 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran for 17 yards for 21.96 points, and Christian Kirk, who caught 6 passes for 117 yards (16.7 points). Touchdown Tigers (1-0) will look to sustain their winning ways against Charlie's Angel, while Coach's Cats (0-1) meet Sherry's Sharks in an effort to right the ship.
