CFFL Week 5

Week 5 is behind us.  Week 6 is upon us.  Only one more week till the dreaded home and home series.  Hard to believe. 

This week we had some shoot outs, one close one score game, and then a number of blow outs once again...

Game of the Week:  Killer Bees 27  Ferrets 24
While this game didn't have lots of fireworks and scoring, it certainly had its share of drama.  Newly acquired kicker Zane Gonzalez got the Ferrets in pretty good position after the first half with 14 points.  With a Lamar Jackson TD pass the score was 18-12. 

Elliott would score for the Ferrets

The second half the Ferrets had to sweat out the Killer Bees 10 point connection of Prescott and Witten, not to mention Jimmy Graham.  Prescott would get 2 TD passes, thankfully not to Witten, but the Ferrets would finally get a TD run from Elliott.  Score now was 24-20.  Could the Ferrets survive the Chief kicker Butker?  You would think so considering the high powered Chiefs would score TDs.  "Not so fast my friend."  It turned into a defensive battle and Butker would end up kicking 2 FGs and finish with 7 points. 

Butker would FG would eventually be game winner

The score was 27-24 but wasn't over as the Ferret owner made sure everyone knew as they had the 49er defense.  And they came out fired up.  It looked like there was a chance they might score!  They had a pick at their own 1 yard line that looked like it might go all the way!  It didn't.  They fielded a punt and sprinted down the sidelines and it looked like it might go all the way!  It didn't.  They pressured the QB deep in his own end zone.  Batted a few passes down that looked like they might pick it off and go all the way!  They didn't.  The defense would end up with 0 points and the final score would remain 27-24.

Wrecking Crew 71 Mayhem 56 - Now this was a shoot out with plenty of fireworks.  It was like two heavyweight fighters trading hey-makers.  The Crew would end up with 5 players scoring double digits.  McCaffrey had 3 TDs! 

Crew was head over heels with 3 McCaffrey TDs

But just when the Crew would score the Mayhem would score, including not one, not two, but THREE 10 point connections from Watson to Fuller!!  It was wild, but in the end the Mayhem couldn't keep up with the Crew.  It helped that one of the 5 that scored double digits was the Crew's Eagle Defense and the Mayhem had no kicker. 

Really sucks getting 3 10 point connections and lose...

Titans 49  Animals 35 - In the other shoot out, this game saw a battle of QBs between Titan's Teddy "Two Golves" and Matt "Shark Eyes" Ryan.  Teddy would score 16, score 16 and Ryan 19.  The Titans would take command in the game late Sunday with 13 points from Vinatieri putting the game pretty much out of reach.  The Animals had Nick Chubb "Chubb, chubb, chubb" Monday night, but with needing 3 scores to win the game, it seemed unlikely.  And it was.  Chubb ended up with a big fat goose egg. 

Around the league...
Chislers got 21 points from their Rams (Goff, Zuerlein, and Kupp) on Thursday night and was pretty much it for them.  The Dragons didn't do much better on Sunday not even getting close to 21 points.  Chislers would add a defensive TD to make the final 27-13...

Wilson threw 4 TDs for the Sinistars

Aaron Jones.  Aaron "Freaking" Jones!  The Roulette could have benched all their players beside Jones and still win, with Jones scoring 4 times!  They went on to win 44-19 over Bums...

Sinistars took advantage of a Cocktail team that suffers from a bad Chief day winning 41-16.  Russell Wilson and Gurley combined for 28 points Thursday.  Cocktails' Chiefs managed only 4 points Sunday night...

The Killers win their second in a row in another defensive battle. This week they win 22-10 vs Juggernauts.  They were led by their Brown cubed wide outs of AJ Brown "House", John "Downtown Julie" Brown and Marquise "Hollywood" Brown.  Only Hollywood would score however...

And finally the Crush had little trouble beating up on the once proud Kraut nation 38-19 getting 12 points from "Good ole Tom" Brady and Michael Thomas and 14 more from Opera Kicker Tucker.  And what is up with the Krauts...

Good Ole Tom being Good Ole Tom...

Player of the Week:  Aaron Jones, RB, Roulette - 24 points
