GG Durham,
Brooklyn should have lost that game and were lucky to win. The Bulldogs shut down the run and showed why Arnold is a top tier. The Brawlers' D was solid again this week getting 3 INT's against the rookie QB, but Ortiz showed his moxy and will be great.
To quote ACI..."Let's jump to the 4th quarter"...
With Brooklyn up 10-9, seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, Brooklyn connects on a 65 yard TD to make it 17-9 (after Durham's K Murphy has already shanked a PAT and sliced a FG)....
With just over 3 minutes remaining, Brooklyn's CB Donaldson steps in front of TE Douglas and records his second INT...
Brooklyn is thinking to run out the clock and promptly RB Shannon coughs it up for the Brawlers' only TO. Sammie "STUD S" Szczepaniak picks it up and rumbles for 12 yards, leaving over 2 minutes remaining...
Ortiz scrambles for a 1 yard TD with a minute left, but Durham failed to get the 2 point conversion...17-15.
Durham was favored by one at home and Brooklyn, thanks to QB Staat, escaped with a win. Now the Brawlers have three more road games before the bye week.
Best of "Luck or WTF" the rest of the season, because I still don't know how we won that game.

Gg, Dean. A missed EP and missed FG probably contributed largely to our defeat. Your defense did a magnificent job on Ortiz, but despite that, we still had a chance to tie the game at the end, but failed on the 2 point conversion. Good luck rest of the season.
