Crush top GC Lions for third straight win in 134.9-104.7 runaway

Crush extended their win streak to three games with a dominant win over GC Lions, cruising to a 134.9-104.7 victory. GC Lions leapt out to a 43.7-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind 36.2 points from Jalen Hurts (190 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 86 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD) and Younghoe Koo (2-2 FG, 53 long, 3-3 XP).

They were led by Joe Burrow, who passed for 355 yards and 4 touchdowns for 28.7 points, and Najee Harris, who racked up 116 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns (25.6 points).
