-------------------
FARGO barely edges out North Florida in a game where turnovers really mattered - poor Kiedo.
In Tallahassee, Week 6 saw the debut of coach Logan McLane and a reinvigorated coaching staff. Several sources stated that previous head coach Joe Griggs had to vacate the position due to medical reasons, leaving the management to scramble for a new coach during the bye week. This left McLane with a little over a week to try and conquer the #1 offensive team in the league, and - despite the loss - the team didn’t do half-bad. Fargo’s Flip Penguinator continued to shine as a rookie, completing 80% of his passes and throwing for 250 yards. Despite a late touchdown by North Florida and a successful 2-point conversion, Fargo held on and maintained their first-place position in the league.
Final Score: Axemen 14, Renegades 11
---------------------
BALTIMORE's hot-powered offense, led by Aspen, tramples the strong Downriver defense for the win.
At the Bal’i’mer Horseshoe, persistence proved to be key in the dominatrix that was the Ponies offense; QB Aspen Redfield continued his hot streak with 226 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns (+31 yards on the ground). Downriver debuted their third starting quarterback of the season, Bobby Burnette, who passed well but did not do well enough to convert his team in 3rd-down situations. The sole touchdown on the day for the Waves came from rookie Alex Kangaroo, who returned one punt return for a score (kicker Draco Zingora had missed the Waves’ single field goal attempt).
Final Score: Ponies 24, Waves 7
---------------------
Chicago's QB Darius Smith injury leads to a frustrating offensive struggle and loss to ABILENE.
It’s been an interesting trip for Roy Dejesus - who, after being one-and-done released by Texas early in the season, was signed by Chicago to fill in for the injured Darius Smith. Late in the fourth quarter, Dejesus fumbled the ball on a sack by Lancers’ Kim Howell and was recovered by Howell; the chimpanzee did not get up immediately after, and had to be carried off the field. The team did not have another offensive chance - and the Lancers got another win to improve their ailing record. The Lancers’ defense was relentless, forcing six sacks (four as a result of rookie Zachery Munson), and Kim Howell notching two of the sacks in addition to her fumble recovery.
Final Score: Lancers 21, Outlaws 10
---------------------
Despite starting the game with a fumble, John Cameron and the NEW YORK offense prevail against Easton.
On a foggy Sunday evening in Easton, John Cameron returned to his true form and handled a back-and-forth effort between Morton Ritter’s offensive muscle. The Titans used their 57% time of possession to their advantage - and despite wide receiver Delph Adler’s first breakout performance of the season - three passes for 65 yards - poorly timed decisions and turnovers (in addition to Clueton missing two of his three field goals) gave New York a win to return to an even record of 3-3.
Final Score: Titans 23, Bald Eagles 17
---------------------
CALIFORNIA takes over in the second half to overcome the Las Vegas Bandits' field goal kicker.
The goofball strategy of trade-off quarterbacks by California (one that has not been implemented since the Orioles did it in the early 1980s) has worked well thus far; however the offense fully rested in the hands of Darren Stephens, who rushed for 109 yards and a score. The Bandits could not convert potential scoring opportunities; kicker Chas Patterson did not miss any of his field goals - but Stapler threw two interceptions. In addition, a heavy focus on an unsuccessful running game (one that was without the talents of Alex Smith) did not bode well for Las Vegas, giving California a chance to overturn the 6-0 deficit at the half and come back to win.
Final Score: Dons 24, Bandits 12
---------------------
In an evenly-met match, the TEXAS rushing game and defense defeat Grand Rapids in their empty stadium.
The return of QB Terence Curran to the huddle was supposed to be a sign of indulgence for the Dragons to prevail, but - due (at least, in theory) to the lack of fan support, and a record-low attendance of 6,000 fans - the team willed themselves to the powers of the Ramblers’ resurgent defense. Andrew Calder was not perfect, but utilized his weapons when necessary - Jacqueline Knight caught seven passes, and Don Stone grabbed one for 42 yards and a score. In addition, the offensive line proved vital in this matchup - not a single sack was allowed on Calder. Although Dragons rookies Toby Otternator and Darren Hibbard performed immaculately, the Dragons were inherently one score behind the entire game. A lone bear cub was infamously photographed holding his dad’s hand and tearing his Dragons jersey with his in two after leaving the stadium in the loss.
Final Score: Ramblers 23, Dragons 15
