Drew Brees continues to score big each week but was bettered by Armadillos QB Matt Ryan. Renegades Andrew Luck and Jordy Nelson both scored about 20 points in the losing effort. TE Dwayne Allen was left in the lineup but did not play due to an ankle injury. Armadillos other QB Carson Palmer was a huge part in their win on Sunday scoring 45.52 points.
