Safety Blitz received a monster night from quarterback/wide receiver combo Matt Ryan and Roddy White, as the two Falcons hooked up for 55 points to jumpstart Coach Phillip Campbell's offense on Thursday night. Coach Campbell received solid play from his running backs to overcome a shaky performance from his tight end and flex positions in the victory. The Pessimists QB and WR1 actually matched Safety Blitz point for point, as Joe Flacco and Dwayne Bowe put up 55 points to give Coach BJ Hudson's squad a fighting chance on Sunday. Despite having 4 players score 12 points or more, The Pessimists received 7 points combined from 3 positions in falling to their non-divisional rival.
The Hail Marys (95) @ One-Man Wolf Pack (82)

On the home sideline, One-Man Wolf Pack received a 27 point performance from quarterback Mark Sanchez but got little help from his teammates in the defeat.

Young Gun Football (106) @ Riley's Vikings (130)

Riley's Vikings were led by 38 points from quarterback Tom Brady and had 4 other players reach double digits in the victory.
