Pittsburgh Remains Winless Through Four Weeks

We are officially through four weeks in the USFL. In that span, we have learned quite a bit about each team, and what to expect from them as the season continues.

Fans were treated to plenty of entertaining football, as every game was decided by only one score. As expected, the league’s best squads were looking sharp this weekend.
