EuroStepBack fall short of expectations, lose to Alcatraz Auctioners in 99-74 rout

There's no easy way to put it, EuroStepBack underperformed, at least based on projections, as Alcatraz Auctioners rolled to a 99-74 win. This one was decided before it really even started, as Alcatraz Auctioners earned a 32-point lead on Thursday behind a combined 34 points from DeAndre Hopkins (6 Rec, 94 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Jacoby Brissett (129 Pass Yds, 20 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD). Nick Chubb (106 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 58 Rec Yds) and Aaron Rodgers (104 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 13 Rush Yds) did everything they could for EuroStepBack in the loss. This marks the second time this season Alcatraz Auctioners have taken down EuroStepBack, after winning 146-60 in their last matchup. Alcatraz Auctioners improve to 4-8 on the season, while EuroStepBack fall to 4-8.
