Despite top scorer Robinson, Long Island Steelers fall to Krásná Lípa Patriots, 119.92-109.32

Long Island Steelers had the top scorer in the matchup with RB James Robinson racking up 27.9 points, the seventh-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Krásná Lípa Patriots, who secured a 119.92-109.32 win. Long Island Steelers nabbed a 27.90-point lead on Thursday behind a stellar effort from James Robinson (46 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 83 Rec Yds). But Krásná Lípa Patriots held the lead the rest of the way, powered by the Indianapolis Colts defense (7 Pts Allowed, 260 Yds Allowed, 3 Turnovers) and Aaron Rodgers (283 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 12 Rush Yds). Krásná Lípa Patriots (1-2) will look to add to their success against Wizardos Tiburones, while Long Island Steelers (1-2) attempt to get back in the win column against Rebellion.
