another quiet trade deadline and we are halfway through 2073
seems that
K Cedric Longwell was not content with a 52 yard game winner so he took a false start penalty himself to make it a 57 yard game winner as the
Lions get back to to the win column with an OT victory in Jakarta. I cant recall a K ever getting a false start penalty. what a guy. Lagos is held to just 25 yards passing and seem to have doubled down on their run game ever since Silcox broke hearts and retired. the Manta Rays playoff hopes dim as they drop to 2-5-1
the
Power dominate the second half for a huge win in Buenos Aires to earn their fourth in a row.
CB Harry Valenti and
CB Rand McNally each record an interception and are first in all time in tandem interceptions with 37
RB Russell Maki scores on a 43 yard play action pass with just 1:42 remaining to save the day for the
Bayhawks in the
game of the week.
QB Maxwell Akers throws an uncharacteristic 3 interceptions, including one directly after Makis game winning TD. the two teams will meet again in week 13
the
Spires defeat the Owls in Athens to earn the
upset of the week. the Spires are at 500 after 8 games for the second time in franchise history. they have now won two in a row after plugging
RB Solomon Dodge in at WR1 but they have a big challenge next week when they host the 6-2 Street Urchins
the
Pirates get back to 500 after dropping 3 in a row with an OT victory versus the 86ers who drop to 1-7. talented but young
QB Steve Williams has yet to arrive. the remaining 8 games give him a chance to improve in another sub 500 season for Johannesburg. when this happens they could become contenders due to their terrific crop of young defenders
the
Tornadoes defeat the Choppers in Sao Paulo to move to 3-5. the Choppers drop to 1-7 but have another bumper crop of draft picks in store for 2074. it will be fun to track their progress as they hope to contend for the South America division in the near future
the
Heroes snuff the Stars in the
beatdown of the week. nothing goes right for the Stars in this one while
RB Mark Carter rushes for 132 YDs and a TD
the
Zippers make easy work out of a tough Dublin team to take control of the number one seed in the Old World
RB Billy Bojangles rushes for 2 TDs in the second quarter as the
Anchors fight back to 500 in a win over the Kraken
the
Dire Wolves take control of the Canada division after 8 games for the first time in franchise history with a win over divisional rival Vancouver but head on the road next week to face a tough Bayhawks squad
the
Prizefighters win their match with the Sharks despite gaining just 117 yards of offense to retain control of the Oceania division
QB Andrew Prosser throws for 2 TDs in the first half and the
Stampede win a big divisional match over the Deities in the competitive Africa division. after sporting three 12 win teams last season, the Africa division is the first to have three teams with 5 wins in 2073
RB Richard Braswell has a monster day with 198 yards and 2 TDs on 27 touches to surge the
Tide past the Guazues. this was also his second game in a row without a fumble. Rosario
QB Wendall Yardley has a rough start in this one.....his first two passes are caught by standout
CB Truman Lockhart who now has 24 in his career (2nd all time) and he ends with 3 INTs on the day
the
Bushmasters move to a surprising 5-3 after defeating the defending champion Golden Eagles. something is certainly wrong in Mexico City and many fans are demanding to know why their heroic coach is no longer around. the whole coaching change episode was shrouded in mystery and the Golden Eagles are certainly not the threat they were just a season ago
QB William Cutting seems to be on his way for a third MVP and
WR Paco Keys notches another TD as the
Butchers improve to a league best 7-1 with a road win in Havana. the Macaws manage to rack up 366 yards in the loss which drops them to 1-7.
CB Bone Carver tallies 2 INTs for the Butchers who host the Revolution next week
the
Street Urchins run 46 times while having just 10 pass attempts in a win in Houston
will have power rankings and MVP candidates up after week 10
