First four players = identical. Then both kickers put up 10 points. The 2.3-point margin of victory was the difference between Nate Washington and Josh Gordon in the wild card spot.
Tough, tough break for SteelCityRoller for coming so close to winning consecutive weeks (would've been a first for BTSC).
