JOSH WINS, 38-5
The Minotaurs manhandle the Baboons here, scoring all of the points themselves thanks to two intentional 90-yard safeties meant to burn clock in the second and fourth quarters. Unfortunately, that all but wiped out the team’s rushing yard totals.
MICHAEL WINS, 28-4

SAMUEL WINS, 29-15

The LeScavengers couldn’t lescavenge a single point against their division rival. They did find one thing, though: a goose egg. That’s not a comment on their score; there is apparently a goose problem in the Adam Bombs visitors locker room.
ADAM WINS, 19-0
The Martians abduct the win here in overtime, using their tractor beams to pull the Evil Entities’ game-tying kick attempt wide right with 0:38 left in the bonus period.
MIRANDA WINS, 31-28
Rachel sealed the victory after regulation ended and most of the fans left due to a really good, limited time sale at Kelly Koat Faktory.

TRAVIS WINS, 28-14

JOEL WINS, 36-6
The new guys in town, the Erik Eruption, make their NPL debut in PRIIIIIIIME TIIIIIIIME after being called up from the New England Picks League where most players are drunk.

As they should, Brent welcomed the new guys to the league with a blowout.
BRENT WINS, 35-14
