Cousins Lightning Performance led the Neptunes to a Nail Biting Win against the Rocks

With most of the players for the Neptunes playing in the early 1 o’clock games on Sunday, the team continued to score throughout the games. Kirk Cousins was the show boat of the Neptunes as the leading scorer, throwing 365 yards and adding 3 touchdown passes. Cousins was connecting with receivers all game and kept the momentum high. Aaron Rodgers was our second highest scorer, passing for over 300 yard, throwing 3 touchdown passes and 1 interception. The Seahawks defense resulted in the Tunes lowest score allowing 33 points in their loss to the Titians. Amari Cooper the hopeful star wide out was held to 6 receiving yards and has been a disappointment thus far in the season for the Neptunes.
