No First Round Upsets, Norsemen to Face MeggaMen for Title
In the first playoff game, the Norsemen easily defeated the Trump Molests Collies, 46-3. The Norsemen got 26 and 25 points from Patrick Mahomes (QB-KC) and Mark Andrews (TE-BAL). That was enough to advance to their record extending 10th Championship game and third title game in four years. Byron nows has now won the last six first round playoff games he's been in.
The other playoff game between MeggaMen and Sean Taylor's Ashes, had most of the offense backloaded. So it remained 0-0 until the Monday/Tuesday night games. The MeggaMen were finally able to pull ahead and get some positive points to come aways with a 24-0 victory. The ends Tom's four game playoff losing streak and sends him to his ninth Championship Game.
The Toilet Bowl lived up to it's name, as the Gallic Warriors beat the Sacks on the Beach 24-13. The total score of these two teams combined would have bearly beaten the Norsemen this week. After last year's Toilet Bowl loss, I guess this is an improvement for Chris. Mike suffers his first Toilet Bowl loss in 17 years. If the Gallic Warriors keep their #1 pick, it will be their record tying 5th time picking first.
