Week 9 Review

THE MEGATONS def DELTA MARAUDERS

119-107

PACKERS DST

36-points: 2 DTD (26, 62)

The Packers DST led The Megatons to a 119-107 victory over the Delta Marauders in Week 9. Scoring 2 TDs and recording four sacks, the Green Bay defense was at the center of a 45-7 rout of the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night football.

Drew Brees passed for 253 yards and 2 TDs in a 34-3 win over Carolina. Dwayne Bowe added 16-points on 63 yards receiving and a 20-yard TD in Oakland. QB Matt Ryan passed for 235 yards and a 5-yard TD in a South Division win over Tampa Bay.

The win improved The Megatons to 5-4 and into solid contention for a playoff spot with 4 weeks to go on the schedule.

AARON HERNANDEZ (#85)

24-points: 2 TDs (2, 1)

The Delta Marauders drop to 3-5-1 in a tough loss to The Megatons in Week 9. The New England connection of Tom Brady and Aaron Hernandez emerged as a bright spot for the DMs as the two Patriots combined for 47-points and two touchdowns. The Patriots DST was not as hot with -1 points on just 34 PA and a DFR.

Mike Wallace had 110 receiving yards and a 39-yard TD for 21-points. Ben Roethlisberger has come back to earth after a strong start, finishing with just 13-points in Cincinnati on 163 passing yards and 8-yard TD pass.

Still in the playoff hunt, the DMs need a rebound victory in Week 10 to stay in line for a shot at the postseason.

PREDATORS DESTROY GATORS:

202-113

PHILIP RIVERS

42-points: 4 TDs (55, 11, 12, 28)

Philip Rivers led the Predators to their seventh victory and fourth $10 prize for the league's top score in Week 9. Finishing with 202-points, the win was an afterthought as the defending BCFFL Champions plow their way into the postseason.

Rivers passed for 4 TDs in Houston as the Chargers went on to defeat the Texans. Rivers' arrival on the Predators roster after an earlier trade with the Parking Thugs for Brett Favre has proven to be a great addition to the team! 

ARIAN FOSTER

35-points: 127 rushing yards, 2 TDs (8, 2)

In addition to Rivers, this year's hottest RB has to be Arian Foster. He scored twice against San Diego at home and racked up 35-points on 127 rushing yards. Peyton Hillis also was outstanding in Week 9 at home against New England with 37-points on 184 rushing yards and 2 TDs.

The Predators' benefitted immediately from the Week 9 pick-up of Colts tight end, Jacob Tamme, who caught a 3-yard TD and had 108 receiving yards for 20-points in a loss at Philly.

Ahmad Bradshaw scored twice on 57 rushing yards for the Giants in a road victory at Seattle. The Predators lead the Original Division, but share the same record (7-2) as The Spoiler.

JAY CUTLER

26-points in Toronto, Ontario

The Bears defeated the Bills in Toronto in Week 9, but the Gators were still short on points against the mighty Predators. Cutler led the way with 2 TDs on 188 passing yards for Chicago. Ryan Fitzpatrick contributed 16-points in the same game on 299 passing yards and a TD.

Greg Jennings scored a TD and had 80 receiving yards on Sunday night against Dallas for 18-points. Kicker, David Akers added 14-points on four FGs (22, 21, 31, 44) and two extra-points.

The Gators have 4 games left to hope for a miracle!

COUGARS def PARKING THUGS:

128-108

MARK SANCHEZ

34-points: 74-yard TD

The class of the Extra Crispy Division, the Cougars improved to 7-2 thanks to the NYQBs, Eli Manning (32) and Mark Sanchez (34). They combined for 626 passing yards and 4 TDs (46, 6, 5, 74) in Week 9 wins against Seattle and Detroit.

Adrian Peterson crashed the party against the Cardinals with a rushing and receiving TD and 3-points.

BRETT FAVRE

30-points: 2 TDs (12, 25)

The Parking Thugs dropped to 3-6 with a tough loss to the Cougars in Week 9. Brett Favre and Josh Freeman combined for 55-points on 635 passing yards and 4 TDs (14, 58, 12, 25).

The drawback for the Thugs was the lack of a running game. Thomas Jones, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, and LeSean McCoy combined for 13-points and no TDs. That was pretty much the dealbreaker.

Steve Smith caught a  6-yard TD and added 14-points. Larry Fitzgerald added 10-points on 107 receiving yards. Sebastian Janikowski added 11-points with three field goals (23, 41, 33) and two extra-points.

BACKDOOR BANDITS def HOUSTON FUZZ:

164-90

MICHAEL VICK

31-points: 2 TDs (1 passing & 1 rushing)

The notorious Michael Vick did it again, leading the Bandits (and Eagles) to victory in Week 9 over the Houston Fuzz and Indianapolis Colts with 31-points. That included both a passing and a rushing TD.

Matt Cassel had 21-points in an OT loss at Oakland on 216 passing yards and two TDs (11, 20). DeSean Jackson lit it up again in Week 9 with Vick throwing the ball with 22-points on 109 receiving yards and a 9-yard TD catch. Mike Williams had 89 receiving yards and a 58-yard TD for 28-points.

And Greg was on hand at Lambeau to watch as Mason Crosby kicked a 26-yard field goal and six extra-points for 9-points in victory over Dallas. The Bandits improve to 5-4 and are now closer to locking up at playoff spot.

CARSON PALMER

22-points: 248 passing yards, 2 TDs (19, 27)

The Fuzz are in a slump and it continued in Week 9 with a 164-90 loss to the Bandits. Carson Palmer was one of the bright spots with 248 passing yards and 2 TDs in a Monday night loss against Pittsburgh.

The Saints DST had 3 PA, DTD (24), Int, DFR, and 4 SACK for 20-points in a 34-3 win over Carolina.

Some major points were lost on the bench with Braylon Edwards (27-points) and Joe Flacco (25-points). Both of these players square off against each other on Thursday night in Week 10. We'll see if they reappear in the line-up.

THE SPOILER def GAUCHOS:

151-69

AARON RODGERS

36-points: 3 TDs (9, 8, 10)

The Spoiler improved to 7-2 thanks to the big night from Packers QB, Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers led his team to a 45-7 win at home over America's Team with 289 passing yards and 3 TDs, plus 41 rushing yards.

Rashard Mendenhall continued his successful season with 20-points on 99 rushing yards and a 1-yard TD. Terell Owens continues to impress in Cincinnati with 34-points on 141 receiving yards and 2 TDs against his former team, the Gauchos.

Hakeem Nicks returned to form in Week 9 with 128 receiving yards and a TD for 22-points.

RAY RICE

17-points: 180 all-purpose yards

The Gauchos have lost their mojo and were soundly defeated 151-69 in Week 9 against The Spoiler. Ray Rice was the one and only bright spot with 17-points on 180 all-purpose yards and no TDs.

Jeremy Shockey caught a 7-yard TD and added 10-points for the Gauchos. Matt Bryant and the Ravens DST combined for 18-points.

Limited QB play from Chad Henne cost the Gauchos major points, and the lack of a solid QB has hampered the Gauchos all season long. At 3-6, their playoff hopes are fading fast.

Congratulations to all Week 9 winners and good luck in Week 10!
