Meanwhile, Friday just wasn't the day for Washington's offense. They were beaten by Independence 35-0 last Friday. The defeat continues a trend for the Rams in their matchups with the Patriots: they've now lost three in a row.

Copper Canyon didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Washington in their previous matchup back in September of 2023, but they still walked away with a 30-24 victory. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Washington's Saveonne Kun, who rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 19 yards and a touchdown. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Copper Canyon to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
