Unable to overcome multiple busts, Juggernauts fall to Deflated balls, 283-199

Hampered by multiple starters who put up goose eggs (Henry Ruggs III, Darren Waller, and Leonard Fournette), Juggernauts were unable to overcome Deflated balls, which secured a 283-199 victory. Deflated balls grabbed an early 34-point lead on Thursday. Juggernauts bounced back to take the lead on Saturday, powered by Nick Chubb (37 points). Not to be deterred, Deflated balls got it going later that afternoon, as Patrick Mahomes (102 points) and Josh Jacobs (24) put them back in the lead for good. This marks the second time this season Deflated balls have knocked off Juggernauts, after winning 274-168 in their last matchup. Deflated balls end the season at 10-6, while Juggernauts finish the campaign at 10-6.
