Unable to overcome multiple busts, TOUCHDOWN fall to PIRATES in 105.36-85.30 rout

Hampered by two starters who put up goose eggs (Zach Ertz and Brandin Cooks), TOUCHDOWN were unable to overcome PIRATES, which cruised to a 105.36-85.30 win. TOUCHDOWN nabbed a 2.20-point lead on Thursday, but PIRATES held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Josh Allen (304 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 77 Rush Yds) and A.J. Brown (9 Rec, 181 Rec Yds). Joe Burrow (25.8 points) and Ezekiel Elliott (13.1) did their part for TOUCHDOWN in the loss. This marks the second time this season PIRATES have gotten the best of TOUCHDOWN, after winning 123.96-107.3 in their last matchup. PIRATES (12-3) will look to keep it rolling in the playoffs. TOUCHDOWN will be home for the playoffs, finishing the season at 4-11.
