Maria's Team secured a 104.90-89.58 victory to hand Matthew's Team their fifth straight loss. Matthew's Team leapt out to a 40.50-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding efforts from the Denver Broncos defense, who allowed only 10 points, surrendered 223 yards, and forced 5 turnovers for 32 points, and David Johnson, who racked up 70 yards from scrimmage (8.5 points). But Maria's Team held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Jarvis Landry, who caught 10 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown for 20.7 points, and Carson Wentz, who passed for 310 yards and 2 touchdowns (18.7 points).
