Pantheon knock off Volt Blitz, 74-60

Both teams showed up, but Pantheon got the best of Volt Blitz, coming out on top with a 74-60 victory. Volt Blitz took a 17-point lead on Thursday behind an impressive performance from Emmanuel Sanders. But Pantheon held the lead the rest of the way, powered by the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, who allowed 24 points, surrendered 328 yards, and forced 3 turnovers for 19 points, and David Montgomery, who racked up 76 yards from scrimmage and ran for 2 touchdowns (19 points). Pantheon (3-6) will look to sustain their winning ways against Attack Pack, while Volt Blitz (4-5) attempt to right the ship against STL VIZZED.
