Game Recap
The Monsters are in the midst of another losing streak after falling to the Richmond Renegades by a score of 153.52-133.82. Led by unreal performances by Drew Brees (35.02 points) and Stefon Diggs (30.9) the Renegades were able to overpower Memphis and in the process dropped them to 2-8 on the season. It wasn’t all too bad for the Monsters as they managed to put up an impressive 133 points and saw impressive outputs from QB Kirk Cousins (29.38), Melvin Gordon (18.2), and Kenny Britt (18.9). Although there were some bright spots to be found the team is still reeling as they are currently in last place and are engulfed with a coaching scandal.
