The final margin — 26.3 — flatters nobody's nerves; this was a procession by the end. Rashee’s Ricests still held the lead as late as Friday, before the run that decided it.
The tape shows where it was won: Mals Pals took 5 of the six positions, none more brutally than RB — 13.3 plays 40.1. Travis Etienne finished with 30, the biggest individual return on either side.
The revenge subplot was real: these sides had met before — week 9 (lost 104.35–108.3) — and Mals Pals had not won any of them until now.
