Upon the snap, Hasselbeck rolled out to the left and surveyed the field. WR Chad Johnson started out in the right slot and ran his route across the line of scrimmage, breaking free of the bodies and headed to the back left endzone pylon WIDE OPEN. Right when Hasselbeck saw Johnson break for the endzone, Philadelphia CB Damon Moore, who was chasing the quarterback, sacks Hasselbeck right when the quarterback was cocking back to throw the game winning touchdown. Game over. Amazing sequence. - What a turnaround by Philadelphia. For the first time, they have a record of .500 and are really operating well as a team. That is a huge difference from the prior 3 years. - Philadelphia G Steve Hutchinson (1 sack allowed, 1 QB hit allowed, 1 penalty) struggled mightily going against Washington DT Corey Simon, who was in the Philadelphia backfield constantly. - Philadelphia CB Damon Moore had an interception. - Washington CB Ken Lucas allowed 4 1st downs and allowed 4/5 97yds in pass defense.

None of that mattered. Philadelphia QB Tom Brady, who had played well (18/29 179yds 2td 0int; 6car 9yds), engineered a beautiful 6 play 73 yard drive leading to a td with 1:29 left on the clock. Not content to play for the tie, Philadelphia elected to go for 2 points and were successful to go ahead and never look back. Adding another garbage time field goal was icing on the cake. New Jersey actually got the ball down to the Philadelphia 35 yard line, but an interception by QB Brian Griese (22/33 199yds 2td 1int; 4car 2yds) to Philadelphia backup CB Lito Sheppard ended the game.

Denver QB Shaun King had a strong game (25/36 311yds 3td 1int; 3car -6yds) and is a strong contender for the league comeback player of the year. Denver's defense was impenetrable all game long and led by LB Brian Urlacher (2 sacks, 1 QB hit, 2 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery, 2 run stops), backup CB Shaunard Harts (1 defensive TD, 1 interception, 1 tackle for loss, 3 run stops, 1 fumble recovery, 1 pass deflected), DE Gary Stills (1 sack, 1 tackle for loss, 2 run stops, 1 forced fumble) and S Jerry Azumah (1 interception, 1 run stop, 0/3 when targeted in the passing game). The Arizona offense only gained 192 total yards all game long. Arizona QB Ryan Leaf was terrible (13/27 139yds 0td 2int) and luckily QB Donovan McNabb comes off of the injury list next week. Arizona finished 7-5 last year and due to the injury of their starting QB, they will be hard pressed to match that record this season. The Arizona defense could not get off of the field on third downs (allowed 7/12 on 3rd downs) and let the Denver passing offense pick them apart all game long.

Michigan ran all over the Oakland defense, gaining 293 rushing yards and 9.2 yards per carry in 32 attempts. Michigan HB Shaun Alexander was unstoppable (19car 194yds 3td; 1cat 13yds) and tore the heart out of the defenders trying to stop him. Michigan QB Aaron Brooks moved the chains when needed and was efficient (15/24 156yds 1td 0int), but he took a back seat to the Michigan rushing attack. Michigan's defense real had no one stand out, but they did just enough to hold on for the win despite giving up 372 total yard (98 rushing, 274 passing). Oakland QB Akili Smith did everything in his power to try to get Oakland to come back in the game as he was outstanding (26/38 303yds 2td 0int; 2car 28yds). The Oakland offense was betrayed by the run defense, plain and simple.

Birmingham QB Peyton Manning (26/41 310yds 2td 0int; 3car -1yd) and WR Deion Branch (12cat 137yds 1td) did all they could to bring the their team back into the game, but the defense did not do their jobs during the game.

The game was decided by 4 Washington turnovers (3 fumbles, 1 interception). It was only through the herculean efforts of Washington HB Edgerrin James (21car 189yds 1 td; 1cat 71yds 1td) that Washington was able to keep this game close. Tampa Bay QB Marc Bulger played well (15/26 184yds 1td 0int; 4car 24yds) while taking advantage of the shirt fields the Washington turnovers allowed. HB Fred Taylor was the lynchpin of the offense (26car 116yds 1td; 1cat 9yds) allowing Tampa Bay to enjoy 36 minutes time of possession, controlling the pace of the game. The Tampa Bay defense really did not stop the Washington offense (396 total yards), but forcing 4 turnovers proved to be the key to the game. Washington backup QB Sage Rosenfels continues to show he can adequately move the ball down the field (16/26 232yds 2td 1int), but he had 2 of those 4 turnovers, and fumbled the ball 2 other times, which were recovered, thankfully. He has to do a better job protecting the ball until starting QB Matt Hasselbeck can heal from his ankle injury. Washington's defense inability to control the Tampa Bay rushing offense (gave up 164 total yards) did not help them, even though the utrnovers gave them numerous short fields to defend. I have a feeling these two teams will be seeing each other again in the playoffs.

Chicago Blitz (3-3) 7 10 7 10 -- 34 New Jersey Generals (3-3) 0 7 0 7 -- 14 First Quarter Chicago - WR Cedric Wilson 4 pass from QB Joe Hamilton (Edinger kick), 9:43 Second Quarter New Jersey - HB Travis Henry 5 run (Vanderjagt kick), 3:46 Chicago - Edinger 39 FG, 7:32 Chicago - HB Jamal Lewis 3 run (Edinger kick), 9:23 Third Quarter Chicago - HB Jamal Lewis 6 pass from QB Joe Hamilton (Edinger kick), 9:03 Fourth Quarter New Jersey - HB Travis Henry 1 run (Vanderjagt kick), 0:44 Chicago - HB Sammy Morris 2 pass from QB Joe Hamilton (Edinger kick), 6:41 Chicago - Edinger 36 FG, 14:34 New Jersey lost this game due to the efforts of one man. That man is their main free agency acquisition, QB Brian Griese. Griese turned the ball over 5 times (3 fumbles, 2 interceptions) by himself and New Jersey never had a chance despite dominating Chicago in time possession (almost 37 minutes), dominating Chicago in total yardage (425 yards to 246, 200 of those yards coming on the ground) and completing 7/14 on 3rd downs. Those turnovers were fatal. Chicago QB Joe Hamilton surgically took apart the New Jersey Secondary (17/25 208yds 3td 0int; 2car 10yds) throwing 7 of his 10 total passing 1st downs on first down. Though Chicago only converted 2/9 3rd downs, their precision on 1st downs mitigated those non-conversions. Not even an anemic Chicago rushing attack (48 yards total, 2.2 yards per carry) could hold back the offense, due to the short fields those turnovers allowed the offense to operate in. On defense, LB Dat Nguyen played the game of his life (2 sacks, 1 QB hit, 1 run stop, 2 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery) and S Ryan Clark created chaos all game long (1 sack, 16 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 5 run stops, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery). New Jersey QB Brian Griese continued his subpar play (22/41 241yds 0td 2int; 1car 14yds) that has been a hallmark of his game all season long. Reallt the only player on the entire team that played a good game was HB Travis Henry (20car 114yds 2 td; 1cat 6yds). No one od defense stood out despite their run defense playing well, but the secondary's collapse just killed thier defense all game long.

The gained 454 yards in total offense, led by the arm of QB Tom Brady (22/31 269yds 1td 0int; 3car 23yds), the hands of QB Kevin Johnson (8cat 101yds) and rookie TE Dallas Clark (3cat 73yds 1td) as well as the dynamic running of HB Thomas Jones (25car 176yds 2td). The defense had to hold on at the end, but holding Boston to 3/11 on 3rd downs proved to be the key of the game. Boston QB Daunte Culpepper actually played his best game of the year (21/36 267yds 3td 0int; 1car -2yds), but the inability to convert his throws on 3rd downs proved costly despite the huge game of WR Hines Ward (9cat 165yds). Culpepper should have targeted Ward a bit more on 3rd downs to extend drives. The Boston defense's inability to stop the Philadelphia running game (gave up 203 total rushing yards) was the key to the game.

Denver needed 16 defensive points to win this game and that should bother the Philadelphia team something fierce; two fumbles returned for touchdowns deep in their territory and a safety?!? Denver's offense struggled. QB Shaun King did not play well (21/45 256yds 0td 0int), the Denver rushing offense was sporadic (rushed for 77 total yards, 65 of which was run by HB Kevin Faulk) and were it not for their defense, Denver would have been blown out (only converted 2/16 third downs). The defensive standouts are numerous as DT Glen Steele (3 sacks, 1 safety, 1 QB Hit, 2 tackles for loss), DE Justin Smith (1 touchdown, 1 sack, 4 QB hits, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery), DT Kelly Gregg (2 sacks, 3 QB Hits) and LB Rosevelt Colvin (1 int, 4 QB hits and 2 run stops) rained hell on the Philadelphia offense all game long. Philadelphia QB Tom Brady tried to put the team on his back will them to victory (30/48 305yds 1td 1int; 7 car 50yds). He spread the ball around to 9 different receivers and should have gotten the win after possessing the ball for close to 39 minutes; the defense, who did play very well, just could not hold the Denver offense in the end. DE Adewale Ogunleye was his usual disruptive self causing mayhem when he was on the field (1 sack, 3 QB hits, 1 forced fumble). The good news is Philadelphia is playing better this year, they just have to learn how to close out game.

Washington Federals (4-1) 7 7 7 0 -- 21 Arizona Wranglers (1-4) 0 3 3 10 -- 16 First Quarter Washington - HB Amos Zereoue 17 pass from QB Matt Hasselbeck (McGuire kick), 5:09 Second Quarter Washington - HB Edgerrin James 2 pass from QB Sage Rosenfels (McGuire kick), 0:10 Arizona - Gramatica 29 FG, 14:03 Third Quarter Arizona - Gramatica 27 FG, 6:37 Washington - WR Chad Johnson 16 pass from QB Sage Rosenfels (McGuire kick), 10:06 Fourth Quarter Arizona - Gramatica 32 FG, 4:41 Arizona - HB Deuce McAllister 1 run (Gramatica kick), 12:50 After starting QB Matt Hasselbeck was injured early in the 1st quarter with a sprained ankle, backup QB Sage Rosenfels came in for relief and played magnificently (18/24 186 2td 0int; 5car 25yds). Washington pretty much had this game in hand until Arizona scored 2 late scores, but during Washington's final drive, they were able to run the clock the final 3 minutes of the game to nail the victory down. HB Edgerrin James (14car 105yds; 3cat 9yds 1td) and WR Peter Warrick (7cat 109yds) played well and supported the Washington offense during the QB change. The Washington defense did not play particularly well but they were able to get off of the field on 3rd down, allowing only a 4/14 conversion rate. Arizona QB Ryan Leaf played ok, but could not get the ball into the endzone (25/40 266yds 0td 0int). The heroics of HB Deuce McAllister (15car 132yds 1td; 1cat 12yds) was the only reason why Arizona was in this ballgame at the end. Arizona's defense could not get off the field on 3rd downs (allowed 7/14 conversion rate) and that pretty much cost them the game.

Oakland Invaders (3-2) 7 0 7 0 -- 14 Tampa Bay Bandits (4-1) 7 7 7 0 -- 21 First Quarter Oakland - HB Reuben Droughns 6 pass from QB Akili Smith (Feely kick), 2:33 Tampa Bay - WR Randy Moss 83 punt return (Brown kick), 11:16 Second Quarter Tampa Bay - HB Olandis Gary 45 run (Brown kick), 0:13 Third Quarter Tampa Bay - WR Troy Walters 10 pass from QB Marc Bulger (Brown kick), 3:51 Oakland - WR Torry Holt 7 pass from QB Akili Smith (Feely kick), 9:07 Fourth Quarter No scoring Tough defensive battle where the two offenses both chose to air it out (TB threw 45 passes; Oak threw 57 passes) trying to test the opposing secondary. Tampa Bay QB Marc Bulger threw a lot of short passes (26/45 250yds 1td 1int) and spread the ball around to 7 different receivers. He also was able to move the chains when needed (threw 10 first downs passes). On defense, Tampa Bay DT Ron Edwards continues to dominate inside (4 QB Hits, 1 run stop, 1 forced fumble) and his ability to commend double teams allows his team mates to swarm to the ball in the running game (only allowed 3.0 yards per carry) and the passing game (Tampa Bay defenders pressured the Oakland QB 44% of all dropbacks). Oakland QB Akili Smith threw a lot of passing with very little downfield success (32/57 314yds 2td 1int; 6 car 21yds). 5.5 yards per pass attempt is just not going to cut it with that volume of passing attempts. The Oakland defense, behind the stellar play of the secondary, held the Tampa Bay all-world receiver tandem of WR Randy Moss (5cat 25yds) and WR Plaxico Burress (7cat 67yds) in check all game long and did all the could to hold the potent Tampa Bay offense in check.

Los Angeles Express (3-2) 6 3 7 10 -- 26 Michigan Panthers (2-3) 0 7 3 3 -- 13 First Quarter Los Angeles - Brown 49 FG, 10:53 Los Angeles - Brown 28 FG, 12:16 Second Quarter Los Angeles - Brown 32 FG, 8:03 Michigan - WR Kevin Curtis 10 pass from Brooks (Lindell kick), 10:52 Third Quarter Michigan - Lindell 33 FG, 4:59 Los Angeles - WR T.J. Houshmanzada 8 pass from Batch (Brown kick), 9:37 Fourth Quarter Michigan - Lindell 37 FG, 1:57 Los Angeles - HB Michael Bennett 11 run (Brown kick), 9:21 Los Angeles - Brown 52 FG, 13:11 Three interceptions by Michigan QB Aaron Brooks was pretty much the difference in the game. The teams gained similar total yardage (LA - 359yds MCH - 325yds), though Los Angeles ran the ball better (5.2 yards per carry to 4.3) allowing Los Angeles to enjoy a 33 to 27 time of possession advantage. Los Angeles QB Charlie Batch played well (27/48 264yds 1 td 0 int; 1car 8yds), moved the chains with 13 passing first downs and engineered a 9/19 3rd down conversion rate. He accomplished all of this despite being under constant pressure all game (4 sacks and 17 QB hits); the offensive line has to protect him better moving forward. On Defense, S Brian Kelly played lights out (1 interception, 1 sack, 1 tackle for loss, 2 run stops, allowed 1/4 11yds when targeted in passing game) and was the driving force in a ball-hawking secondary. Michigan QB Aaron Brooks pretty much cost his team the game (23/40 288yds 1td 3int; 2car 23yds) with those turnovers. One notable performance was backup HB Shawn Bryson, who killed the Los Angeles linebackers and safeties in the passing game (7car 17yds; 5cat 120yds). These were not screen passes he broke open for big plays, they were him in the slot and out wide exploiting mismatches. The Michigan defense played very well and their pass rush was ferocious behind the huge game of free agent signee DE Jevon Kearse (3 sacks, 4 QB hits, 1 forced fumble). The defensive front 4 accounted for 12 total QB hits. The 2KFL Bowl hangover is lasting longer than the defending champion Michigan Panthers would like, so they best get their acts together fast as division leading Tampa Bay Bandits (3-1) are much improved from last year and will not be easy to catch.

Boston QB Daunte Culpepper (25/41 293yds 1td 2int; 2car -3yds) spread the ball around to 7 different receivers but their clutch player of the game for Bostom was actually K Jeff Hall who nailed 4 field goals icluding a 54 yarder. Boston Defense held the Chicago offense to just 4.9 yards per offensive play. Chicago QB Joe Hamilton (28/43 267yds 1 td 0 int; 3 car 18yds) did what he could, but the lack of a running game (80 total yards and 4.2 yards per carry) hampered his ability to flourish in the play action passing game. Though the defense played well against the run (77 total yards and 4.1 yards per carry), their failure to stop the Boston Offense in the 4th quarter was the ballgame.

New Jersey put up 17 points and then coasted to an easy victory behind the Pass game and tough 2nd half defense. New Jersey QB Brian Griese finally played the kind New Jersey thought they were paying for when they made him the centerpiece of their free agency. Griese's statline (28/45 329yds 1td 0int; 3car -1yds) was great and he killed the Birmingham defense on screen passes to HB Dominic Rhodes (5cat 136yds 1td). New Jersey's defense was dominant, led by LB Bart Scott (2 sacks, 1 sack, 3 QB Hits, 1 pass deflection) who was all over the field making big plays. Birmingham's QB Peyton Manning was up an down (28/46 285yds 3td 2int; 1 car -2yds) and was not helped by a putrid running attack (only 7 rushing attempts all game for 48 total yards) though WR Deion Branch was a bright spot for the offense (9cat 128yds 1 td). The play calling was terrible. On Defense, Birmingham allow 9/19 3rd down conversions and was on the field way too long, tiring the defense out (New Jersey held the ball for almost 37 minutes).
