Week 3 Recap

*Because the closest game this week was 25 points, we do not have a 'Game of the Week.' Instead, we will have the 'Blowout of the Week.'*

Blowout of the Week: Safety Blitz (46) @ Young Gun Football (104)

In what was dubbed Hell's Fury III, Safety Blitz was on the receiving end of a bloody and bruising beating at the hands of Young Gun Football. Safety Blitz struggled to score at all, becoming the first team in league history to not eclipse the 50 point mark in extending their league record losing streak to 7 games. Coach Phillip Campbell was not available for comment after the game, instead meeting with his lawyers concerning a possible lawsuit against estranged QB Eli Manning. Young Gun Football put the game away early behind Aaron Rodgers and Ryan Matthews, whose combined 53 points were enough to beat Safety Blitz on their own. Coach Jason Young was pleased with the play of his bench as well, as their 47 points would have been enough to defeat Safety Blitz as well.

Illegal Alien Babies (69) @ Carmichael's Crusaders (103)

Despite another strong performance from Tom Brady, the rest of the Alien Babies could not get on track in falling on the road to Carmichael's Crusaders. The Alien Babies received solid days from Darren Sproles and Larry Fitzgerald, but the rest of their team combined to score a total of 12 points. Coach Darrell Campbell was heard cursing in Spanish in the locker room following the game. Carmichael's Crusaders had 5 players score in double digits, led by TE Jermichael Finley with 26 points in a breakout performance. Coach Ethan Hudson's squad secured their first victory in franchise history following a two game losing streak to open the season.

Tebow's Youth Group (70) @ Maddawg's Tight End (105)

Tebow's Youth Group struggled in the hostile Columbian environment on Sunday, falling to Maddawg's Tight End in a game that was over well before halftime. TYG was led by the Ravens' defense, who scored 20 points in a monster performance over the Rams. Coach Daniel Campbell's squad only scored one offensive touchdown on the day, as none of the other eight starters were able to reach double digit scoring. Maddawg's Tight End was led by surging QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, who scored 22 points in upsetting the Patriots on Sunday. Coach Miranda Maddux was concerned with the injury to WR Kenny Britt following the game, noting that her staff was already working on possible replacements.

Campbell's Cougars (78) @ Play Action Pass (130)

Campbell's Cougars struggled to adjust to high altitudes in Monterey over the weekend as Play Action Pass took control of this game from the outset. Campbell's Cougars were led by rookie sensation Cam Newton's 16 points. Coach Matthew Campbell appears to be frustrated by his team's injuries, as Frank Gore and Steven Jackson have not been able to get on track so far this season. Play Action Pass posted another huge scoring day behind Wes Welker and Drew Brees, who combined to score 66 points. Coach David Looper's squad scored six touchdowns on the day to secure the victory.

Riley's Vikings (80) @ We Got Big TDs (105)

Riley's Vikings ran into a Portland buzzsaw on Sunday, as We Got Big TDs scored early and often in the rout. Riley's Vikings was led by Ahmad Bradshaw and Daniel Thomas, who combined to score 36 points from their running back positions. Coach Adam Warren was visibly upset with the play of Michael Vick, stating that he needs to spend more time practicing football and less time at the local kennel during the week. We Got Big TDs was led by Matt Schaub's 30 points in their shootout loss to the Saints. Coach Tara Campbell has her team playing well in the midst of a two game winning streak despite receiving poor play from her running backs.

The Pessimists (77) @ Team Maddux (110)

The Pessimists saw their six game winning streak come to an end in a rematch of last year's BHFFC Super Bowl versus Team Maddux. The Pessimists hung tough early, but only had two players score in double digits in falling on the road. Coach BJ Hudson's squad was led by Matthew Stafford and Ray Rice, who combined to score 43 points in the losing effort. Team Maddux was led by the three-headed monster at running back of Darren McFadden, Fred Jackson, and Maurice Jones-Drew, who combined to score a whopping 66 points. Coach Zach Maddux was pleased with his team's bounce back performance following a Week 2 loss, stating that "it will be a good week at the paint store for Team Maddux this week."
