Undefeated Steeltown Outlasts Outlaws

By Special Correspondent Captain America

 

The game was a dog-fight the whole way, just as it was billed.
Steeltown jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead, only to see McNabb rally
the Outlaws with a 10 point rebound. It came down to the last 2
minutes, as the Roughcut drove inside the Outlaw 20 yd line to kick
what would be the winning FG on the leg of Rob Bironas, and then held
off the Outlaws for the final 45-seconds.

For the home-standing Outlaws, McNabb was brilliant in keeping the
Roughcut defense on it's heels, throwing for 281 yds on 30 attempts.
He hit Johnson 8-times for a robust 133 yds and three TDs. White
added another 96 yds on 6 catches, one score. Jones-Drew ran for 55
tough yds, with LBs hanging all over him, and surprising Harrison ran
just 4-times for a stunning 60 yds! Seau & Pierce added INTs, one of
them stemming a deep drive by Steeltown.

For the visiting Roughcut, Romo again was on his game, despite
throwing two very costly INTs. On a work-like 19 of 26, Tony hit
Hines Ward 6-times for 77 yds and a pair of touchdowns, and Jerico
Cotchery also had 6 catches for 90 and a tally. On defense, Jason
Taylor came up with 2 key sacks.

Week #6 sees the Outlaws tarveling to Transylvania ("De bats, boss,
de bats!"), while Steeltown travels to always-tough NW Missouri.
