VIII: Week Three Results

We're down to two undefeated teams and two defeated teams with a week to go in the season's first month. Saskatoon nabs the top spot due to poor management from Toronto, while Manitoba follows up a low scoring win with a dominant performance. At the bottom of the standings are some of the usual suspects: Savannah finished in 12th last year, and Oakwood has finished in the bottom four spots in each of their three seasons. Both teams need wins in the worst way week four.

POWER OUTPUT:

1. 244 HVM: Worst to first in a week's time- variance due largely to a lack of stability at Quarterback
2. 227 MMC: 3-0 be what it is, but two wins over woeful ofers means rougher water ahead
3. 222 SPC: The championship hangover is over, Marvin Jones and Christine Michael are here.
4. 220 HCM: Tough loss for a franchise known for its tough losses. Bad time for Brandin Cooks to be quiet.
5. 218 PAW: Statement game reclaims Indiana for the Pride who plan to ride big Mike Evans as far as they can.
6. 215 PHX: Only team in the league to surpass the 200 point threshold all three weeks. (Jinx)
7. 205 ISL: Islanders played to win but were let down by Matt Forte's gameflow lack of opportunities.
8. 203 NYF: A desperation last second win for the Finest, who have three real quality starters at RB.
9. 193 DVH: Six of seven flex options scored five points or less, headlined by Kelvin's disheartening goose egg.
10. 191 OAK: Back to back backbreaking losses put Oakwood in a tough spot early.
11. 177 MDB: Silver lining is that Terrelle Pryor showcased a potentially gamechanging skillset, should start. 
12. 175 SAV: Now at three weeks of zero points from tight ends after picking Gronk in the first round. LOLWUT?
13. 166 SAS: Four of eight offensive starters score below five and they win? Inconceviable but true.
14. 163 LTP: Failure to play Charles Sims over Rashad Jennings an unforgivable transgression and cause of defeat.

Byron Jones smacking the ball out of Alshon Jeffery's hands in the end zone as time expired was the difference between victory and defeat for Phoenix and the Islanders.
It's a fantasy moment I'll never forget.
(I posted this here to remind myself to never forget it.)
