STEEL CURTAIN top expectations, knock off X-Factor in 136.5-94.5 rout

STEEL CURTAIN outperformed their projected point total, cruising to a 136.5-94.5 victory over X-Factor, who fell short of projections. X-Factor grabbed a 14.0-point lead on Thursday, but it was all STEEL CURTAIN after that. They were led by Teddy Bridgewater (313 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs) and Todd Gurley II (121 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 29 Rec Yds). Adam Thielen (9 Rec, 80 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Tyreek Hill (15 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 78 Rec Yds) led the way for X-Factor in the loss. STEEL CURTAIN (2-3) will look to keep it rolling against BROOKLYN ZOO, while X-Factor (1-4) will match up against Cocktails and Dreams in an effort to right the ship.
