CFFL40 Week 7

 Well things are getting interesting after the first set of the home and home series as we move past the half way point of the season.  Here is what happened...

NORTH:  Things got real tight in the North as both the Chislers and Crew lose.  There is now a 3 way tie for first with the Animals joining the leaders at 4-3 after getting a late 44 yard TD run by Kyler Murray to beat the Chislers 40-34.  The Ferrets have new life after the Bills signing of Amari Cooper and went on to beat the very flat Crew 36-27.  The game was not as close as the score indicates as the Crew got 15 points from Cameron Dicker "The Kicker" late.  

Murray wins it for the Animals!

SOUTH:  Dragons get back in the hunt tying the Bees for first both at 4-3.  Not a big surprise in both games.  The Dragons send their brother the Titans to 0-7 but it wasn't easy.  They needed a 20 point performance late Monday from Lamar Jackson to beat the Titans 33-30.  Bees were fugazi as predicted as the Warbirds got 22 points from their special teams and defense (Kicker Siebert 16 points and Washington D 6 points).  

Jackson racks up 20 points for Dragons!

EAST:  This division is certainly shaping up to be a two horse race as both the top teams won their games.  The Sinistars got 12 from Purdy and 18 points from their RBs but still couldn't beat the Cocktails.  Jordan love had 12 points and the Cocktails rolled again 51-40.  Krauts won in dramatic fashion getting a late TD catch by Derrick Henry to beat the Juggs 18-13.  Both teams now are 6-1.

WEST:  Advantage to The Legion.  They beat the Whales in their first game by one point, 26-25.  The Whales got 22 of their 25 points from their Eagles in the loss (Hurts, Barkely).  Fittingly the two teams in the bottom of the West, Killers and Crush finished in a 17-17 tie.  Or maybe the Crush won.  Killers had no back up points.  The Crush got 0 points from their first two back ups.  However they did get 6 points from Aaron Jones.  So I will let the commish make final ruling.  

Jefferson and Darnold hooked up for a 10 point play

Player of the Week:  Lamar Jackson, QB, Dragons - 20 points
