Despite top scorer Jefferson, The Replacements fall to Finkle & Einhorn in 167.16-137.34 landslide

The Replacements had the top scorer in the matchup with WR Justin Jefferson racking up 24.69 points, the eighth-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Finkle & Einhorn, who cruised to a 167.16-137.34 victory. The Replacements pulled out to a 25.59-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Finkle & Einhorn after that. They were led by Justin Herbert (274 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 38 Rush Yds) and Austin Ekeler (20 Rush Yds, 60 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Justin Jefferson (11 Pass Yds, 139 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Lamar Jackson (254 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 89 Rush Yds) did their part for The Replacements in defeat. Finkle & Einhorn (7-5) will look to keep it rolling against AC's Broncos, while The Replacements (10-2) will take on The Apes in an effort to get some positive momentum.
