Team Scooter come up short of predictions, succumb to Steelers Wheels in 129.62-90.88 drubbing

There's no way around it, Team Scooter dropped the ball, at least according to projections, as Steelers Wheels cruised to a 129.62-90.88 win. Steelers Wheels grabbed a 30.10-point lead on Thursday behind standout showings from Terry McLaurin (22.2 points) and Saquon Barkley (7.9). Team Scooter came back to take the lead during the early games on Sunday, powered by Christian McCaffrey (22.2 points) and the New England Patriots defense (19). Unphased, Steelers Wheels pulled it together later that afternoon, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense (19 points) and Justin Herbert (16.72) put them back in the lead for good. Steelers Wheels (1-1) will look to build on their success against LETHAL WEAPONS 50 AUCTION 14, while Team Scooter (1-1) match up against Ben Beast in an effort to right the ship.
