The Fantasy Bowl in 2012 could have been one of the more exciting Fantasy Bowls to date. But of course why not. The Chislers would be in it, and they have a history of playing in games with fantastic finishes.
The Chislers led by long time Chisler QB Philip Rivers would only finish 8-6 behind the North Division Champ Ferrets. But they would get by the Bums 38-36 getting 18 points from WR James Jones. In the semis they would face off with the Twins. A team they had faced 6 pervious times in the post season. Chislers would defeat the Twins 33-24 on their way to their 9th Fantasy Bowl.
The Bees were looking to get in their second Fantasy Bowl led by league MVP Drew Brees. Could a CFFL MVP finally win a Fantasy Bowl? The Bees would coast to a 55-14 win against the Mayhem in Round 1 and a 38-31 win against the Ferrets in the semi-final round. They would move on to Fantasy Bowl XXVIII and a Fantasy Bowl XVIII rematch with the Chislers.
Witten scores the tying score for the Bees |
Back in 2002 the Chislers and Bees faced off in a classic battle with the Bees winning on a final second Jeff Wilkins XP. This game would prove to be just as exciting. It started out with Brees once again throwing 4 TD passes giving the Bees an early lead. The Chislers would come back with 2 TD passes from Rivers, one going to Gates for a 10 point connection. The Chislers led 25-19 and just needed to get through the final game between Washington and Dallas, of which the Bees had Jason Witten. In the second quarter Witten would score to tie the game 25-25!! Were the Bees going to do it again to the Chislers? There was a lot of time left for Witten to score again. He would not and for the first time in CFFL history we had overtime in the Fantasy Bowl. Chislers being the home team got 7 points from kicker Greg "The Leg" Zuerlein to win it's 4th title!
