Pjoke come back to top Cleveland Steamers in 93.46-93.42 battle

Both teams failed to rise to the occasion, but Pjoke did enough to knock off Cleveland Steamers, coming from behind for a 93.46-93.42 victory. Trailing 93.42-61.76 heading into Monday night, Pjoke roared back behind the New England Patriots defense (0 Pts Allowed, 154 Yds Allowed, 6 Turnovers) and Julian Edelman (20 Rush Yds, 47 Rec Yds). Kirk Cousins (29.18 points) and the San Francisco 49ers defense (15) did their part for Cleveland Steamers in the loss. Pjoke (5-2) will look to keep it rolling against The Playbook of Eli, while Cleveland Steamers (4-3) will face Shake N Bake in an effort to get some positive momentum.
