PITTSBURGH'S OFFENSE YET TO ARRIVE



 
 
Thankfully for Pittsburgh, Steve Jackson picked up the slack for Lewis and Co.

SHAWNEES - 30   COWBOYS - 27

The Pittsburgh Shawnees offense was shaky for the second straight game.  Despite having the league's best offensive line, Jamal Lewis rushed for just 50 yards on 20 carries but thankfully for Pittsburgh, Steven Jackson didn't struggle, rushing for 106 yards on thirteen carries as the Shawnees squeaked by the Cowboys, 30-27.  Marc Bulger passed for over 300 yards and three scores, but was intercepted three times in the loss.
