USMC Bounce Back with Dominant Win Over Roadrunners
Written by Lewis Puller
After a disappointing Week 1, the Los Angeles USMC (0-1) roared back to life in Week 2 with a convincing 127.8-94.2 victory over the Albuquerque Roadrunners. The Roadrunners, who came into the game looking to build on their season-opening win, struggled mightily from the start, as their key players failed to deliver.
Roadrunners’ Offensive Woes
It was a rough Sunday for Albuquerque, as QB Josh Allen finished with just 10.7 points, and TE Travis Kelce was nearly invisible, managing only 1.7 points in a shocking performance. To make matters worse, the Cowboys Defense scored -1.0 points, adding to the Roadrunners’ misery. The lone bright spot for Albuquerque was WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who posted an impressive 23.7 points, though it wasn’t nearly enough to challenge the USMC.
Marine Corps Offensive Surge
The USMC were led by their superstar wide receiver duo of Amon-Ra St. Brown and Davante Adams, who combined for a staggering 48.9 points. St. Brown’s consistency and Adams’ big plays were too much for the Roadrunners to handle. The victory was a crucial bounce-back for the USMC, as they hope to build momentum heading into Week 3.
Looking Ahead
The Albuquerque Roadrunners (1-1) will need to regroup as they prepare to take on the Montana Wombats next week. They’ll be hoping for better performances from their stars while waiting for RB Christian McCaffrey to make his season debut and give their lineup the boost it desperately needs.
The USMC (1-1) will face a major challenge in Week 3 as they take on the undefeated Atlantic City Aces (2-0), one of the hottest teams in the league. Can the Marines continue their upward trend, or will the Aces stay perfect?
