Week 2 Matchups
In a rematch of last year's championship game, the song remains the same; Phoenix held off Hill Valley to advance to 2-0. Brandon Marshall's gutted out three TDs to hold off McFly Bailey's field goal onslaught. The matchup went the distance, as Nick Foles and Zack Ertz hooked up in the final minute, but could not reach the end zone.
The Battle of Indiana saw the invaders oust the old guard. Both teams had exemplary showings with elite four output highlighted by five players on each team going over 13 points (the threshold for above average performance) but the Turbanators, with the best score of the week move to 2-0. The Pacers fall to 0-2, but anyone sleeping on them will be in for a rude awakening. They can play.
Oniontown was prepared for Greg Hardy's last minute deactivation: Jason Pierre-Paul came in and helped the Massacre defense shut down week one's highest scorers. New York was done in by early injuries to both of its safeties: Eric Berry and Micah Hyde were unable to contribute many meaningful snaps, giving OT the opportunity to finish strong and get the win.
The Cows mooooo-ve to 2-0 after eeking out a tight win over the Sasquatch. Winning percentage remains 1.000% thanks to a gem addition in TE Nile s Paul and a goose-egg performance from Saskatoon's Marques Colston. Neither team's defensive line supplied much push in this one, registering nada on the stat sheet.
After a nice start, the P arrots petered out in week two, posting the week's lowest score despite top DL JJ Watt scoring a receiving TD (!?!) early. Unfortunately, their defense failed to show up on defense, and their trio of rookie WRs looked like rookies- still faring better than the ghost of Hakeem Nicks, who scored 0.1 in whisper play. For OAKWOOD Chandler Jones dominated the line of scrimmage en route to defensive player of the week honors, and Alfred Morris did all of the lifting for Driver RBs, with Peterson deactivated and Moreno hurt early. It was enough!
The 2012 Champion Swag righted the ship in week two, putting up solid numbers and dropping the Lead Farmers in the week's least competitive game. California's jumbo set ruled the day, with Jimmy Graham and Delanie Walker exploiting mismatches all day. Ryan Kerrigan dropped Tom Brady for four sacks, but that was the only firepower the 0-2 Lead Farmers could muster.
Seattle gets their first victory! WR Jordy Nelson and TW Antonio Gates were both unstoppable, week two's twin cannons spoiling a nice performance from Toronto. Despite the win, Seattle will have a lot of questions to answer going into week three- Their QB and RB situations are both dire, with RGIII dislocating his ankle and Ray Rice breaking his sacred vows. They will need to start acting to keep the winning going. A week like this would mean a win most weeks for Toronto, who has some nice depth.
WEEK TWO OFFENSIVE MVP:
WR Jordy Nelson, Seattle Seaslugs - 34.40pts
WEEK TWO DEFENSIVE MVP:
DL Chandler Jones, Oakwood Drivers - 30.50pts
