Unable to overcome starter's goose egg, ExigentCircumstances fall to SECFOR Sixers, 137.50-127.70

Hampered by a 0-point week from the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, ExigentCircumstances were unable to overcome SECFOR Sixers, which earned a 137.50-127.70 win. SECFOR Sixers nabbed an early 19.35-point lead on Thursday. ExigentCircumstances came back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by Cam Newton (32.35 points) and Dion Lewis (21.5). Unphased, SECFOR Sixers rallied later that night, as Kareem Hunt (37.1 points) put them back ahead for good. SECFOR Sixers (3-4) will look to sustain their momentum against Dirty Dogs, while ExigentCircumstances (3-4) will face FDC Chiefs in an effort to get back in the win column.
