Jimmy Guappolo cruised to a 102.11-72.94 win to hand Smokin' Jays their fourth straight loss.

Chubb racked up 164 yards from scrimmage and ran for a touchdown for 23.9 points, while the Steelers defense allowed only 10 points, surrendered 244 yards, and forced 2 fumbles (12 points). Kyle Allen (256 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Julian Edelman (8 Rec, 93 Rec Yds) led the way for Smokin' Jays in the loss. Jimmy Guappolo (7-5) will look to keep it rolling against Rodgers Neighborhood, while Smokin' Jays (3-9) attempt to get back on track against Cyclones.
