CFFL History: Fantasy Bowl XXVII


 2011 in the North, the Animals were the division champs for the first time, while the Crew and the Chislers slipped into the playoffs with 7-7 records.  However it would be the Crew and the Chislers that would face off once again in the Fantasy Bowl and not the Animals. 

The Crew would return to the Fantasy Bowl for the 5th time.  The last two trips to the Fantasy Bowl for the Crew ended in losses.  Now they would face their rival brother the Chislers.  The Crew were led by Tom Brady who had 39 TDs on the season, and two big TEs, Gates and Jimmy Graham who had 11 TDs.  On their way to Fantasy Bowl XXVII they would defeat the Juggernauts and MVP Rodgers 38-23  and then the Bees 43-33 getting 16 points from Tom Brady.

The Chislers making their 8th trip to the Fantasy Bowl were led by Matthew Stafford.  Basically they got Stafford in his only really great season, throwing for 41 TDs!  Stafford would set the record for most points in the postseason with 49! (Brady would be second that year with 42 for the Crew).  Chislers beat the Bums easily 37-20 in the first round and then the Krauts 32-24 in the semi-final round.  

Stafford sets records in the playoffs and Fantasy Bowl!


Fantasy Bowl XXVII would see Stafford score 21 points in the Fantasy Bowl, setting a record for most points scored by a QB in a Fantasy Bowl at the time.  Ray Rice for the Chislers would add two more TDs.  Brady would have 12 points and Gates and Graham would both score.  But Stafford's 21 points were too much to overcome as the Chislers would win their 3rd title defeating his brother the Crew 55-38.
