GEFNFL Week 2 9/23/2022 Recap

Game 2

We started off this nice fall overcast evening with enough players to play 9 verse 9 for about the first half of the game. After that some players had to leave so we went down to 8 verse 8.

Red team and blue team started out pretty evenly match with Red scoring the first touchdown to one of the new rookie players to our league Weideman, and in our league once you get a touchdown, you're no longer a rookie. Blue answered that score on their next drive with an amazing throw by Jones to Chaves from behind the first down marker, which for our sized field is equivalent to a 50-yard throw!!

From that point the game was a battle of the defenses with Red getting 3 interceptions and 3 fourth down stops, and Blue getting 5 interceptions and 1 fourth down stop, before Red finally drives down for their 2nd touchdown from Tehan to Oremus. Red continued to dominate the field after that drive with a few more interceptions that lead to 2 more touchdowns!!

Blue team wasn't about to give up yet, putting together a solid drive by Jones to get their 2nd touchdown From Jones to Kappel despite getting sacked once. Blue's defense rallies and makes another 4th down stop, followed by an amazing redzone touchdown pass by Chaves to Jones.

After the next kick off Blue had Red pinned at the one-yard line, we had just called last score, so it was time to dial it up and put the pressure on. Schott and Kappel made a powerful blitz and got a safety. We didn't want to end the game that way so blue chose to decline the play and let red do over the down so we could end the game with a touchdown.

That drive Blue managed to get another interception, followed by another interception by Red. Blue managed to make a critical 4th down stop for their final drive of the game. Blue was pinned at their 5-yard marker but an amazing throw from Kappel to Schott. Who caught the ball with his face got them the first down they needed to keep their final drive alive. They drove down the field with 1 close call and a nice run up the sideline by Kappel. Finally finding Montes De Oca in the endzone for the final touchdown tying the game up.

Final Score

Red - 4
Blue - 4
