Red Drive #9
1-2 from the 18: Pass by Nick to Burleson for 39 yards - stopped by Luke. This ball looked like it might be picked or at least defensed but it floated at the end and Burleson made a nice catch. More impressive was that Luke had his hands diving for the ball - missed the ball and still managed to grab the flag in mid-dive. Impressive grab.

1-19 from the 21: Pass by Nick to Cain for 27 yards - stopped by Barry. Cain out jumps Street for the ball.
1-12 from the 32: Pass by Nick to Josh for 14 yards - stopped by Canadian. Adam hurts his ankle badly here and spends the rest of the game limping badly and running at about 75%. This is mentioned now because of what happens 5 plays later.
1-Goal from the 18: Pass by Nick to Cain for 8 yards - stopped by Street.

1-3 from the 23: Pass by Street to Chenault for 23 yards and the TD.

5 - 4, Red.

Yellow Drive #12

2-5 from the 15: Pass by Street to Chenault - dropped. Chenault jammed his finger on the ball.
3-5 from the 15: Pass by Street to Curtis - incomplete. Ball short.
4-5 from the 15: Pass by Street to Adam for 12 yards - stopped by Day. Adam was open and had a good slant route but simply didn't have the speed to get past a camped out Day before Street had to throw the ball. Day wrapped Adam up on the catch.

That's game. 5 - 4, Red

Adam lead receivers with 148 combined yards from 8 catches on 9 targets (and an ill-advised call for a pitch) - 6 of those catches went for 1st downs and 1 for a TD (worth remembering was that 41 of those yards came after the ankle injury). Next was Cain who took 9 catches 135 yards for 2 TDs and 2 first downs. That was followed with Burleson with 92 yards (4 for first downs) and Josh with 75 yards (2 TDs, and 3 first downs). We also had Mike with 3 catches for only 42 yards but 1 catch was a TD and 2 were first downs and Chenault with 4 catches that went for 67 yards, a TD and 2 first downs.

Cain had 8 flags and 2 defensed passes. Barry had 3 flags, a pick and a sack. Day had 8 flags and a sack. Many other plays had a sack, pick, or defensed pass.

MVP: We had 2 players on each team who scored more than 20 FFPTS this week. They included Josh and Cain for Red and Adam and Street for Yellow. So there were a number of worthy candidates this week. The clear winner, however was Cain. He had a nice turn at QB to start the game, was the second leading receiver in yards and tied with Josh for first in TDs, and he had a nice day on defense with 2 defensed passes.

I have not gone back and added FFPTs to most of the previous games yet but will do so before the end of the year. However, most of you are aware that Burleson and Chenault have a season long bet on who will score the most points. This week, Burleson had 11 and Chenault had 13.
