Brutal special teams all night.

Debatable.
Missing an extra point and having it go the other way for two was the point difference in the game.
Given that the Bombers scored the 25 yard TD on the play right after the sequence you mention, no saying they wouldn’t have also got the TD from 30 yards further out on that drive if the same sequence of a pooch punt happened after the conceded single, thought it may have taken a few more play to get thier TD.
So, whether or not the Stamps conceded the single, if RP didn’t miss the PAT and Bombers run it back the other way as occurred, Stamps would’ve been ahead by 4 or by 5 going into that last WPG drive and forced the Bombers to have go for the TD. Or if RP didn’t miss a FG in 2q, same thing. Or BLM miss a wide open recover just before the missed FG.
