CFFL Week 11

Some close, some not so close, some upsets and some almost upsets...

Mafia 32 Wrecking Crew 31
The Crew almost pulled off the come back Monday Night down 32-4 after Dez Bryant and David Johnson both scored 12 points for the Mafia.  It came down to the Raiders for the Crew (Carr, Cooper, Roberts and Janikowski).  They came up just one point short after Carr had 12 with one TD going to Cooper for an 11 point connection.  It wasn't the fault of the Crew Raiders that let them down.  Nothing from any other players did them in.

Dez caught 2 TDs for the Mafia

Bums 29  Chislers 16
The Chislers also couldn't come back as they had to start Osweiler for the bye week Rivers.  He ended up with 4 points only.  The Bums have won 4 in a row and are now above .500 at 6-5 and in the thick of the playoff hunt.  Bums have become dangerous with their Cowboy connections of Prescott, Elliott and Witten.  Prescott had 12 and then their pair of Dolphin WRs of Landry and Parker both had TDs.

This rookie pair had lead the Bums to 4 straight wins!

Sinistars 40 Animals 21

Mrs. Brady makes an appearance

The Sinistars bounced back defeating the Animals who continue to struggle.  Last week the Sinistars needed just one TD pass from Brady to win, but managed none.  This week, Brady hit on 4 TDs for 16 points.  This coupled with rare TDs from Moncrief and Ebron, helped the cause.


Crush 21 Ferrets 18
The Crush took an early lead after the One o'clock games 21-8 but they were done.  The Ferrets, down only 13, with several players left, seemed like they may upset the Crush and hand them their 3rd loss in a row.  Russell Wilson would score 10 points, including a TD catch, but would get nothing from Lockett or Williams at 4.  They needed a Raider D/ST score to win the game on Monday Night, but came up empty.

Juggernauts 40 Mayhem 22
Juggernauts rolled Sunday over the Mayhem with 2 D/ST TDs from the Vikings.  TDs from Bell, Edelman, Steve "the ageless one" Smith and 6 more from Vinatieri rounded it out for the Juggs.  The victory by the Juggs brings them to 5-6 and keeps them in the playoff hunt.  Mayhem remain tied for first in the Sad Sack South.

2 TDs from the Vike D/ST!

Bees 30 Krauts 13

And then there is Mrs. Tannehill

In one of two big upsets, the Bees surprised the Krauts Sunday with 2 TDs from their D/ST Lions.  They pulled off the win with no points from their QB "Super" Goff.  Krauts didn't do much better getting only 1 point from their QB Roethlisberger.   This was only the second win of the season for the Bees.  The Krauts have dropped 2 in a row and now trail the Roulette in the East by 2 games.

Titans 22 Cocktails 21
In the second upset of the day, the Titans defeated the Cocktails by 1 point.  Tannehill had two late TD passes that were the deciding scores.  Cocktails had a chance though only down 7.  Sturgis let them down however by only kicking 1 point.  Just a few more points and they would have won when "Boyd" Crowder caught his TD pass Sunday Night.  But Monday would still give them a chance with Murray.  He got his chances in the red zone, but just couldn't find the end zone as the Raiders had some questionable play calling and blocking.

One more week before we enter the final two weeks of divisional play to end the season.  Playoff race is close.  South and North are starting to look like 2 team races with only the winner of the division getting in the playoffs.  Last week there were 7 teams at 6-4.  6 of them lost! Not much change then in the hunt.   Here is a look at the playoff race at Week 11:
