Week 9 produced a statement win for Steven, 13-2 for the week, and he says he is back on top! Of course Axis Iron has to make sure Steven knows she is still right there, but the lead is now his, 83-81. Steven went 5-1 on the six games they disagreed on, and he says it should have been 6-0 if the Cleveland Browns hadn't gone for two at the end! Fortunately for Axis, there are still 9 weeks of football to be played and a potential for a comeback!
