A-Team fall to The Replacements in 134.18-111.06 beatdown

A-Team were unable to bring their A game, falling short of their projected point total, as The Replacements cruised to a 134.18-111.06 win. The matchup was decided before it really even started, as The Replacements earned a 35.38-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 38.88 points from Lamar Jackson (238 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 43 Rush Yds) and Devin Duvernay (99 Ret. Yds). Antonio Gibson (19 Rush Yds, 58 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Russell Wilson (252 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 17 Rush Yds) led the charge for A-Team in the loss. The Replacements (7-1) will look to maintain their momentum against The Philly Specials, while A-Team (3-5) will face AC's Broncos in an effort to right the ship.
