The Pittsburgh Maulers difficult season continues, dropping to 1-7 following a 29-18 loss to the New Jersey Generals Friday night in Birmingham, Alabama.
The Generals scored on the opening possession and never looked back. Taking advantage of strong field position following a Maulers’ penalty on the opening kickoff, New Jersey needed just five plays to find the end zone. QB Luis Perez completed his first two passes for 38 yards but the ground game capped things off with RB Darius Victor scoring from two yards out.
To the Maulers’ credit, they responded with a score on their first possession of the game, finding rare offensive traction.
