Tampa Bay, FL (AP): The Tampa Bay Torpedoes traveled to play the rival Durham Bulldogs in an AC ATLANTIC showdown and were defeated by the final score of 27-10.

Defensively, the Torpedoes limited the Bulldogs passing game, but struggled against the run. The Torpedoes recorded 2 sacks and forced 3 turnovers. The Torpedoes allowed 24 points on 5 trips to the Red Zone. The Torpedoes sit in last place of the AC ATLANTIC and their hopes of making it to the AC playoffs is seriously in doubt. The Torpedoes (3-7) have a BYE next week and will have an opportunity to end a 3 game losing streak in Week 12 when they travel to play the Tulsa Talons (5-4).

Torpedoes Head Coach, Alvin Peterson had these comments after the game, "This was a disgusting loss. It always hurts when you lose, but losing to the Bulldogs is the worst feeling in the world. We have hit rock bottom and need to find some answers. We have a BYE next week and need to make the necessary adjustments to get back on track. We can still make some things happen this season, but that's up to us now!"
