The Comeback Kids defended their home turf and in the process pulled within one game of the final playoff spot in the BHFFC. Coach Daniel Campbell received 46 points from his 3 running backs in the victory, which helped to overcome a shaky performance from his receiving corps and 4 interceptions from Peyton Manning. Safety Blitz wide receiver Wes Welker got his squad off to a great start with 21 points on Thursday, but the rest of the team was unable to find the endzone in the losing effort. Coach Phillip Campbell was visibly upset with the Rams offensive coordinator, who he felt did not make good use of Pro Bowl running back Steven Jackson. "You've got one of the best running backs in the game going against a porous defense and you don't give him the damn ball? Something has to change here," quipped Coach Campbell.
Illegal Alien Babies (123) @ Riley's Vikings (106)
The Illegal Alien Babies pulled off the upset on the road in this non-divisional matchup. With the win, Coach Darrell Campbell's surging squad pulled within one game of the playoff picture. The Alien Babies received a third straight 20+ point performance from running back Fred Jackson and a monster game from rookie quarterback Sam Bradford. Riley's Vikings got a big day from quarterback Tom Brady and running back Mike Tolbert, but suffered a huge injury with the loss of running back Frank Gore. Coach Adam Warren was very emotional when speaking about Gore's injury after the game Monday night, saying that "Frank was like the son I've never had."
Young Gun Football (94) @ The Pessimists (71)
Young Gun Football pulled out a key Lightning Division victory in Camden over The Pessimists. YGF received a third straight double digit performance from running back Knowshon Moreno, who continues to regain his form coming off of an injury. Coach Jason Young was very pleased with the play from quarterback Eli Manning and running back Rashard Mendenhall in pulling back into the top six in the league standings. The Pessimists had a dismal performance overall, as running backs Chris Johnson and Jahvid Best combined to score 0 points. Coach BJ Hudson called Johnson out after the game, saying "I spent the second pick in the draft on his ugly ass. He's not here to look pretty, that's for sure."
Hit Squad (104) @ One-Man Wolf Pack (81)
The Hit Squad won on the road to take hold of first place in the Lightning Division and second place in the league overall. Coach David Looper had five players score in double digits, led once again by Michael 'The Dog Catcher' Vick and Arian Foster. The Wolf Pack continued their recent struggles, as running back LaDanian Tomlinson and flex receiver Braylon Edwards combined to score seven points. Coach Zach Maddux went on a lengthy tirade after the game, calling out everyone from his coordinators to the Columbia School Board.
The Hail Marys (81) @ Charlie's Redrockets (107)
Charlie's Redrockets defended their home turf and pulled within one game of the sixth and final playoff spot with five weeks left to play in the regular season. Coach Matthew Campbell received 38 points combined from fill in running backs Mike Goodson and Maurice Morris. Coach Campbell is hopeful that the two running backs have performed well enough to earn starting jobs on their respective teams. The Hail Marys got another monster day from frothing beast Peyton Hillis, who put up 37 points from his running back position. Coach Tara Campbell was left searching for answers from the bottom of her lineup, however, as her tight end, flex, kicker, and defense combined to score 10 points.
