Week 27 Game Summary: Interesting game this week. It was really tight for the first 10 possessions and then suddenly the game reached 4.5-1 before finishing up at a more respectable 4.5 - 3. Really though, it was not that close. One team's offense couldn't get anything going. Fun game to be sure but frustrating to be in a game at 1.5 - 1 through 10 possessions and then suddenly to be out of the game.

On to the play by play . . .

Game starts 5 on 5 - 1 man line with 3 eligibles.

Outstanding Performances
Tom certainly had a nice day at QB with nearly 50% completion rate and 262 yards of passing. Chenault's 5 receptions for 102 yards was pretty good too - anytime someone has 100 yards in our game, that's a very nice day.

On Red, Ethan had a nice day with 3 Sacks and Cain's 2 sacks and 4 defensed passes (all while rushing) was very nice too. I can't say anything nice about Red's offense other than a couple nice plays because the leading receivers had 2 (yes, 2) receptions. Which brings us to the most outstanding performance of them all: Mark's.

Mark had 5 receptions for 74 yards and a TD. He also had a pick and 8 flag grabs. What made his performance the stand out and the one deserving of MVP is that of his 8 flags, 5 were sacks including a safety. He also had another flag for a safety as well. His 3 sacks in a row are almost certainly a record. I don't have stats before this year but I can't remember every seeing that occur.

Week 28 Preview - No sacks for Mark since he's not coming out.
