Defenders Brown, Westbrooks among standouts in Breakers-Maulers

He was held to two catches for 29 yards on Sunday, though he did exact some revenge in the fourth quarter, showing impressive body control, awareness and sticky hands to haul in a 22-yard touchdown toss from Lee with just under 10 minutes remaining in the game.Notably, though, the Maulers had moved Gaither inside to the slot on this touchdown reception, where he was matched up against New Orleans’ nickel cornerback Manny Patterson, rather than Brown. Sitting at the yard-to-gain marker with little concern about Gaither running deeper, Brown showed textbook "click and close" ability, dropping a few yards before exploding back towards the line of scrimmage and making a nice diving interception.Ethan Westbrooks, DL, MaulersWhile Brown certainly delivered in the Breakers’ victory, the best player on the field was Westbrooks, who NFL fans may well remember, as he spent five years with the Rams, amid several other stops since leaving Los Angeles in 2018.Westbrooks was "only" credited with two sacks in this contest, but Pittsburgh’s first-round pick in the 2022 USFL Draft was much more impactful than this would suggest.
