the Street Urchins are now the leagues only undefeated team after they make easy work of the Spires. next weeks matchup in Dublin will be their most difficult match of the season thus far

the Owls score three TDs and tame the Lions offense for a convincing victory in Athens

The Bayhawks force five turnovers to win in Mexico City

the Bushmasters defeat the Kraken despite another dismal performance from QB Brandon Watt who managed to throw three interceptions in the first quarter alone. i wonder how quickly they would become contenders with a QB that isnt horrible.....its like square wheels on a sports car

DT Peter Coleman pokes the ball out of RB John Ramirezs grasp at the one yard line in OT to avoid a loss. https://uro.myfootballnow.com/watch/1303#21631 the tie keeps the Zippers & the Heroes tied for the lead in the Asia division. Zippers K Travis Gray had two FGs of 55+ including a regulation ender to force overtime in the game of the week. when asked why he did not opt to kick a chip shot FG HC Ronald Johnson stated "we wanted a touchdown". not sure why that was so important to him, but his decision making seems to cost his team a victory in a game that could come back to haunt them later. Toyama fans were left scratching their scalps in a daze of confusion

the Prizefighters win a tough one in Brazzaville

the Power return to form in order to earn their first victory on the season vs the Manta Rays

the Guazues get to within 4 points late in the third but the Gauchos close the game with three FGs to retain the Parana Cup in a wild one. QB Wendall Yardley throws 5 INTs in the second half (6 total). RB Danny Cornett rushes for 2 TDs. this is the third straight loss for Rosario after their first 2-0 start

QB Nathan Peterson connects with RB Roland Hunt (2 TDs) for a late game winning TD and the Stars defeat the Pirates in the upset of the week

the Choppers defeat the Tide to earn their first victory in a battle of winless teams. star rookie RB W.P. Chrysler had two touchdowns on the day. Tide RB Richard Braswell adds two more fumbles to increase his impressive all time league leading total to 58. he has played in 63 games, which means he fumbles about once a game. i mention this because he has only recovered 4 fumbles in his career. after a while i would assume he would learn to recover his own fumbles. this is what happens when you start a RB with a 28 avoid fumble rating

the Trident score 2 TDs in the third to defeat the Anchors, 20 - 6

the Tornadoes defeat the Macaws to earn their first victory in another battle of winless teams

the Butchers need a late FG to defeat the Strongbows despite outgaining them by more than 200 yards. the Strongbows jumped out to an early ten point lead which they could not maintain. WR Paco Keys scores his 30th career TD

the Dire Wolves lose three fumbles but manage to earn the victory at home over the Sharks. DT Michael Joslin records two sacks for Yukon

the Deities keep the 86ers winless in Johannesburg

in what i hope will be the beatdown of the year, the Revolution give the Rodeo an atomic wedgie in a 46 - 0 whomping. WR Matthew Coleman has 143 yards and a TD on punt returns (11) alone. Rodeo HC Gary Stover has finally pulled the plug on the failed QB Brandon House experiment and has named QB Ross Ford the starter next week when they return home to face the Bayhawks. a bright spot for the Rodeo - they have already played all of their division road games.

if i was able to, i would absolutely trade a week 6 Lions victory for a Rodeo victory. i just ordered a Rodeo #9 home jersey
