Gem City Gangsters 20
@
Saint Paul Punishers 16

This Division showdown had the Gangsters heavy favorites on the road based on their 8 game winning streak over the Punishers.

Gem City would take a 13-6 lead into halftime before extending the lead to 20-6 early in the 3rd quarter. That would be all the scoring for Gem City as the Punishers defense tightened up and the offense would scored 10 unanswered in the 4th quarter making the score 20-16 11:05 left in the game.

Saint Paul had 3 more offensive possessions but they failed to score again as Gem City held on for the win.

Buffalo Skull Crushers 34
@
Montana Grizzlies 33

A tale of two halfs as Montana took a 10-6 lead into halftime where defenses shined forcing a combined 3 punts, 3 turnover on downs & 2 interceptions along with a missed fieldgoal.

The 2nd half became a shootout as Buffalo outscored Montana 28-23 to win by just 1 point. It's rare for a team to win after throwing 5 interceptions but that's exactly what Buffalo did against Montana plus a 6th interception was called back on a pass interference penalty.

All told, Buffalo scored TDs on 5 possessions, threw interceptions on 5 possessions plus turned the ball over on downs on 4 possessions going 3 for 9 on 4th downs.

Miami Nemesis 20
@
New England 17

Another Division showdown between two teams trying to establish themselves as viable contenders this season goes down to the wire.

The game started as a defensive battle where the teams went into halftime tied 7-7 after a combined 6 punts plus 1 key interception.

New England came out fast in the 2nd half scoring 10 points on their first 2 possessions before missing a 56 yard fieldgoal with 3:39 left in the 3rd quarter on their 3rd possession making the score 17-7 NE.

Miami took the great field position from the missed fieldgoal and turned it into a fieldgoal of their own making the score 17-10.

After trading punts, New England turned the ball over on an interception giving Miama a short field and they capitalized with a game tying TD with 8:08 remaining on the clock.

The defenses tightened up and the two teams traded 5 straight punts before Miami took over 1st & 10 from their 19 yard line with just 0:47 left in regulation. The game seemed destined for overtime but Miami QB Wendal Anderson hit WR Robert Hines for 36 yards which set them up for a game winning, walk-off 54 yard yard fieldgoal.

Zehlendorf Zecken 0
@
Brooklyn Hitmen 44

These two teams entered the season with different expectations as Zehlendorf was considered a contender in the North while Brooklyn was considered a possible last place team in the East.

Brooklyn sent a message to the league that they are here to play as they outgained Zehlendorf 559 to 67 in Total yards and most of it happened in the 2nd half.

Brooklyn took just a 6-0 lead into halftime after dominating statistically in the first half. They held the Zecken to just 33 yards on 5 possessions in the first half while they themselves had 216 yards but just 6 points.

The 2nd half was a much different story as the Hitmen scored TDs on their first 4 possessions and 5 of their first 6 possessions of the 2nd half. They forced 2 fumbles and 7 punts on Zehlendorf and allowed just 39 yards with 25 of them coming on the Zeckens final possession with the score 44-0.

Houston Roughnecks 44
@
Carolina Cobras 3

Houston started the season as the defending AXC Conference Champs on the road and made short work of Carolina who plays in the same division as the 6× defending XFL Champs.

Houston started the game running as they scored on their first 5 possessions and 6 of the first 7 possessions of the game and took a 28-0 lead into halftime.

The 2nd half was more of the same as Houston scored on 4 of their first 5 possessions of the 2nd half and they probably would of shutout the Cobras if not for a fumble at their own 23 which allowed Carolina to kick a fieldgoal.

Pittsburgh Blitzkrieg 7

Another Division showdown where Pittsburgh hosted Cincinnati in a game between two teams where we weren't sure what direction each team would take.

Cincinnati traded their #1 overall pick QB in the off-season and handed the keys to the car to veteran QB Leonard Thompson. He rewarded the Defenders by throwing for 277 yards, 2 TDs and most importantly 0 interceptions. The real Superstar of the game was rookie WR Julio Hamilton who rushed the ball 12 times for 84 yards & 1 TD while making 8 receptions for 82 yards & 1 TD reception.

Pittsburgh struggled on offense rushing the ball 14 times for 15 yards and had some success passing for 238 yards, 1 TD but 2 interceptions.

Atlanta got the ball first and went 3 & out and was forced to punt. Tampa Bay moved the ball into Atlanta's territory before throwing an interception and Atlanta started to dominate.

Atlanta scored TDs on 4 of their next 6 possessions while Tampa Bay managed just 2 fieldgoals as the game went into halftime with Atlanta in the lead 28-6.

@
Brooklyn Hitmen 13

Two teams coming off wins in week 1 looking to get off to a fast start this season.

Los Angeles started fast scoring a quick TD on their first possession then their defense forced a fumble which set up a fieldgoal and LA took a 13-3 lead into halftime.

LA struck first in the 2nd half and extended their lead to 20-3 and it looked like they would win easily but Brooklyn had other ideas.

Brooklyn managed a fieldgoal on their first possession of the 4th quarter making the score 20-6 and their defense forced LA to punt before Brooklyn put together their best drive of the game. They went 9 plays/80 yards in 2:47 and the score was 20-13 with 5:25 left in the game.

Brooklyn's defense bent a little but held and forced a punt which gave them the ball with 2:03 left and a chance to time the game. They converted a 4th down but a huge sack on 1st & 10 put them behind the chains and they eventually were stopped on 4th & long and fell short of the comeback.

Carolina put together thier best drive of the game at the end of the 3rd quarter going 7 plays/75 yards for a TD which extended their lead to 24-16 with 2:37 left in the 3rd quarter.

Seattle was forced to punt on their next possession and Carolina had an 8 play/60 yard drive in the 4th which seemed to be the drive that would ice the game but their kicker missed a 53 yard fieldgoal keeping it a one score game.

Seattle had one last drive to tie the game and it started from their 20 yard line with 5:47 left in the game. They had a 10 play drive and moved the ball into Carolina territory before a costly sack put them behind the sticks and they failed to convert on 4th & 8 from the Carolina 46 which ended the game.

NEWS & NOTES (WEEK 4)

We are a Quarter done the 30th season so let's take a look at where each team ranks in Total Offense, Total Defense & Turnover Margin.

I will also be giving each team a score based on those statistical rankings using this formula:

66 - (Total Offense + Total Defense) +/- Turnover Margin = Team Score.

***What does the score mean?***

The higher the score the better with a range from 85 (PURE DOMINATION) to -20 (TOTAL DISASTER).

Any score of 40 or higher is a Championship caliber team while anything under 10 is in line for a top 5 draft pick.
