Welcome to the official MFL week 3 recap thread, this week in the MFL saw Duncan finally getting out of the standings basement with an upset victory over last year's champ Dusty who came into the game as one of the two undefeated teams in the league. Meanwhile Mark & Danny's run of bad luck continues, Madman Gamer managed to pull victory from the jaws of defeat with the 2nd lowest margin of victory of the week (4.76 pts, the lowest MoV this week was half a point) by coming back from a 13 pt deficit Sunday night and for the second straight week 2 of the 6 games were decided by at least 10 pts or less while the other 4 games were decided by 20 pts or more.
The Bastaaaards (Duncan) vs. Free Josh Gordon (Dusty)
The Bastaaards, with "Eye of the Tiger" playing in the background, got the second-highest score this week and beat Free Josh Gordon 98.30 to 69.82, overcoming an 18.83-point spread. Free Josh Gordon has failed to meet expectations all season, managing only 66.0% of their projected points in this matchup. For Free Josh Gordon, Drew Brees and Zac Stacy played the roles of Maverick and Goose, scoring 23.52 and 12.10 points, respectively. The Bastaaards showed some mercy in the win, starting a player with zero points (Doug Martin). The Bastaaards (1-2, 241.04 points) climbs into ninth place while Free Josh Gordon (2-1, 256.02 points) drops to sixth place.
Grave Robbers (Girl Graves) vs. Free Josh Blackmon (Jerry)
Grave Robbers benefited from the highest score by a player this season (40.30 points) from Andrew Luck and edged Free Justin Blackmon 97.00 to 96.50. This one just as easily could have been decided by a coin flip. The 0.50-point margin of vicroty was the smallest in the league this season. Free Justin Blackmon was led by the tag team of Antonio Brown, with 21.00 points, and Jay Cutler, who scored 20.40. Grave Robbers (2-1, 288.78 points) climbs into third place and Free Justin Blackmon (1-2, 291.50 points) drops to eighth place.
The Fighting Kittens (Smoke/SmokeTNT) vs. Dark's Dragons
Nick Foles, whose 32.20 points were the third-highest point total by a player this week, carried The Fighting Kittens past Dark's Dragons 95.70 to 49.12. Is this fantasy football or mixed martial arts? Because this 46.58-point margin of victory was nothing short of a beatdown and was the second-highest recorded in the league this season. Dark's Dragons, coming off a 93.98 to 42.42 win against Of Hogs and Hokies, saw their scoring drop off this week. When assigning blame following this loss, Dark's Dragons can look in the mirror. They started a player with zero points (the Carolina Panthers Defense). The Fighting Kittens (2-1, 272.02 points) climbs into fifth place and Dark's Dragons (1-2, 220.16 points) drops to 10th place.
Of Hogs and Hokies (Danny Trioxin) vs. The Taint(Brett)
Julio Jones and Tom Brady are going to have sore backs tomorrow after carrying The Taint to a victory over Of Hogs and Hokies 96.16 to 70.14. They scored 28.10 and 14.66 points, respectively. The winless 2008 Lions aren't role models, but no one tell that to Of Hogs and Hokies. They have yet to crack the win column this year. Of Hogs and Hokies put in a solid effort with a massive improvement in scoring compared to last week's 93.98 to 42.42 loss against Dark's Dragons. The Taint (2-1, 294.68 points) climbs into second place while Of Hogs and Hokies (0-3, 199.40 points) stays in last place.
Backfield Penetration (Monster Mark) vs. Rock Terror (CA Bain)
Rock Terror (2-1, 275.02 points) clobbered Backfield Penetration (1-2, 209.56 points) 92.04 to 60.80, led by Geno Smith with 18.64 points and Kelvin Benjamin who scored 17.50. Rock Terror scored first and went into Sunday in front 8.00 to 0. After the late Sunday games, they lost that lead and fell behind 60.80 to 55.90. However, Rock Terror came out of the Sunday night game ahead by 12.60.
Go Blue Girl (Joanna) vs. MadMan Gamers (tav7623/madmangamer)
MadMan Gamers picked up their third straight win when they edged Go Blue Girl 102.24 to 97.48 in a Sunday night comeback. In the process, they also put up the highest score of the week. The streak is due in part to MadMan Gamers having the highest scoring output in the league at 104.07 points per matchup. Go Blue Girl goes to 1-2 and falls to seventh place. MadMan Gamers remains unbeaten and in the top spot having also steamrolled Rock Terror (126.12 to 97.62) and Backfield Penetration (83.84 to 53.40).
