The Pittsburgh Maulers faced off against the New Orleans Breakers’ and USFL leading passer QB Kyle Sloter on Sunday afternoon at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Ala. Turnovers doomed Pittsburgh, who lost 26-16 to New Orleans.
The Breakers opened the game with possession, and on third down the Maulers stopped WR Taywan Taylor just short of the sticks to force a three-and-out. The Maulers took over possession at the Pittsburgh 36 after a 17-yard return by WR Isiah Hennie. On third-and-two, QB Vad Lee was incomplete down the sidelines to WR Tre Walker and the Maulers had to punt.
