Quarterback Jordan Love completed 220 yards in his game, with an additional 3 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. Coming back from an injury in the earlier week, Love continues to give promising stats that help gain the Vipers crucial points every week.

At the top of the leaderboard for players, Wide Receiver Ja’Marr Chase led the Vipers with 17.60 points. He completed 11 rushing yards, 55 receiving yards, and 1 touchdown.
