GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Carolina Cobras rallied from a 20-point deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat the Massachusetts Pirates, 72-65, on Saturday night.
A touchdown pass from Sean Brackett to Devonn Brown gave the Pirates a one-point lead with a minute left, but the Cobras responded with a TD and conversion with 10 seconds left.
On the ensuing possession, Brackett completed a long pass to Mardy Gilyard, moving the ball to the Cobras' 11-yard-line, but Brackett was sacked as time expired.
