Red White & Blaine defy projections, come back to knock off U-25 All-Stars, 118.08-107.52

Red White & Blaine brought their A game, staging a comeback to earn a 118.08-107.52 win over U-25 All-Stars. Trailing 107.52-70.58 heading into Monday night, Red White & Blaine came storming back behind the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, who allowed only 3 points, surrendered 175 yards, and forced 2 turnovers for 19 points, and James Conner, who racked up 125 yards from scrimmage and caught a touchdown pass (18.5 points). Nick Chubb (165 Rush Yds, 3 Rush TDs, 18 Rec Yds) and Kenny Golladay (5 Rec, 67 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) did their part for U-25 All-Stars in the loss. Red White & Blaine (2-2) will look to build on their success against Nana Nancy, while U-25 All-Stars (1-3) meet The Dominators in an effort to generate some positive momentum.
