AFC South Nail-Biters in Week 6

Two games this week came down to a couple points, both occurring in the AFC South:

Anglia 136, Cincinnati 135

The Keepers entered Monday night only seven points behind the Dark Knights with WR Roddy White to play. White notched for 64 yards, giving him six points and leaving Cincinnati one point behind Anglia, putting the two teams in a tie for first place in the division. The other two Cincinnati WRs combined for 44 points and LB DeMarcus Ware scored 14 to lead the defense. The player of the game for Anglia was QB Derek Anderson, who scored 34 points after having a part in four TDs. Anderson was shipped to the Austin Predators after the game for a draft pick.

Greenville 124, Bertrand 122

Much like the game above, Bertrand entered the Monday night game within striking distance of Greenville, facing a five-point deficit with DB Gibril Wilson to play. Wilson could only manage three tackles, which left the Ground Force two points shy of a comeback. QB Carson Palmer led the Ground Force with 18 points and DL Aaron Kampman led the Bertrand defense with 17. The Greenville pass-catchers struggled mightily, with all four of them combining for six points. The two players that led the Storm to victory were QB Brian Griese with 27 and DB Charles Woodson with 20.

Halifax 183, Chicago 119

The Armada was the beneficiary of two huge games in their blowout victory over Chicago. The point totals were so huge that if you took the QB and one RB from each side, Chicago would have won the game. Halfax QB Tom Brady continued his amazing season with 43 points, which was 43 more than Chicago QB Vince Young had. Halifax rookie sensation RB Adrian Peterson broke off three long TDs to score 40 points. Chicago's leading points scorer was WR Braylon Edwards, who scored three TDs as well and ended the game with 24 points.

Washington 159, Utica 110

We had one more huge individual effort this week, and it came from reigning Offensive Player of the Year LaDanian Tomlinson. The Washington RB had four TDs and scored 44 points to lead his team to an easy victory. Braves QB Matt Hasselbeck had an excellent game as well, scoring 25, and LB Shaun Phillips led the defense with 21. The Utica offense had a hard time scoring outside of QB Tony Romo, who finished with 17 points. The other five offensive players combined for ten points. DB DeAngelo Hall was the star on defense with 23.

Glasgow 136, Boston 106

With a lot of players missing with a Week 6 bye, Boston predictably struggled to score points, getting a zero from the QB position and one of the WRs. That said, Glasgow still had to play well to beat the Inferno, and with QB Eli Manning and RBs Larry Johnson and Edgerrin James all with 14 points or more, they did just that. Glasgow DB Sean Taylor led all players in this game with 23 points after nabbing two interceptions and forcing a fumble. Still, the Warriors left a lot of points on the bench, with DL Julius Peppers getting 1.5 sacks and 25 points.

Fairfax 144, Lower Saxony 85

Bad day to be a Lower Saxony fan as seven Patriots scored two points or less and the Foxes rolled all over the defending NFC champion. Faifax only had six players score under eight points, including all three WRs. The RBs made up for that, with Maurice Jones-Drew scoring 29 to lead the team and Brian Westbrook adding 15. Fairfax QB Donovan McNabb also had 15, as did LB Thomas Howard, who led the Foxes defense. Three Lower Saxony players were in double digits, led by QB Jeff Garcia's 16. LB Barrett Rudd and DB Darrelle Revis each had 11.

Austin 146, California 105

California finally got a great game from Drew Brees and Donte Stallworth, but it was all for naught as they fell to the Predators this week. Brees led the team with 21 points on the strength of two TDs and no interceptions. Stallworth had 136 yards and finished with 19 points. Xtreme LB Shawne Merriman notched 2.5 sacks and led the defense with 18. Austin was without RB Willie Parker and his substitute only scored two points. The rest of the offense was fantastic, with QB David Garrard and TE Tony Gonzalez each scoring 22 to lead the team.

New Mexico 102, Carson City 63

In what can only be described as the ugliest game of the year, the Raiders came away with a convincing victory over the Bandits, who scored an NFFL-low 63 points. Acutally, it could have been much worse for the Bandits if not for RB Kyle Eckel's garbage time TD and Ben Obomanu's career-high 13-point game. Carson City DB Leigh Bodden was the star on defense with 13. Raiders WR Steve Smith led all players in this game with 20 while LB A.J. Hawk led the defense with 16. WR Santana Moss scored -2 and is one of the favorites for Dud of the Week.
