FPFL Season 2 Finale

Wrapping up season 2.

Week 9

All close games. One stands out.

• New York and Miami was close in the end. The Imperials had a 20-6 lead. Miami then scored near the end of regulation to bring the score to 20-13. An onside kick failed. With this victory, New York secures its second straight East division title.

Week 10

Crazy ending in the West!

• Down 23-14, Dallas scores 2 TDs in the 4th quarter to win 28-23. The Stallions finish 5-5 on the season.
• LA outscores Seattle 17-3 in the 4th quarter to win 30-27. They also finish 5-5. The Seals then drop to 5-5.
• There is a 3-way tie for the division title! I go with best head-to-head record for the tiebreaker. Dallas is 1-3, Seattle 2-2, and surprisingly LA is 3-1. LA wins the division!

Seattle went 1-4 in the second half of the season to blow the title. This allowed the surprising Stars go from worst in season 1 to first in season 2.

Final Standings

The Imperials dominated, with the best offense and best defense in the league

The Stars were the surprise winners of the West. They tied for first despite having a -35 point differential and one of the worst defenses in the league. 

The Fast Play Bowl

The matchup is set - the New York Imperials will face the LA Stars for the championship.

• The Stars kept it close for a little while. New York led 14-7 at half. It would have been closer but LA missed 2 field goals. 
• They finally connected early in the 3rd to make it 14-10.
• Then the Imperials ran away with it, scoring 20 unanswered points to win 34-10. A dominant performance by a dominant team.

With this NY now has back-to-back championships.

Coming Soon!

I think I'll go ahead and start season 3 soon. I have some tweaks in mind that I will need to set up first, but I plan to finish season 3 by the real Super Bowl.
