Peterson had plenty of opportunities for Goncalves Miners, but could only manage 30 total yards on 12 touches.

While Justin Herbert led Rio Claro Farmers in Week 5 (with 27.36 points) and Aaron Jones in Week 6 (13.10 points), Rodgers has now been the team’s leading point-getter twice in the last four matches.

Rio Claro Farmers plays Brotas Alligators (3-4, 802.14) in Week 8, while Goncalves Miners gets Limeira Guara Wolf (4-3, 787.78).

London Knights Blasts Indaiatuba Blues to Capture 3rd Place

London Knights took a 20.16-point lead on Thursday and never looked back. This beatdown was revenge for a loss to Indaiatuba Blues in their last meeting a season ago.

London Knights (4-3, 848.40 points) climbs into third place and Indaiatuba Blues (4-3, 826.68 points) drops to sixth place.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire probably deserved more touches for London Knights, as he put up a whopping 63 total yards on just nine touches.

Since Robinson was the top point-getter for London Knights, it means a different player has led the team in each of the last four weeks. With 23.10 points, Allen Robinson paced the squad in Week 4, while Calvin Ridley (21.60 points) was tops in Week 5 and Carson Wentz (29.42 points) last week.

London Knights matches up against top-ranked Campinas Giants (5-2, 842.14) next week. Indaiatuba Blues will square off against Paulinia Robots (3-4, 838.10).

Todd Gurley tried to stop from scoring to run the clock out, but couldn't hold up.

The Lions scored the game-winning TD with 0 seconds on the clock.
