“A matchup of rats on rats looked to be all in favor of the Tunnel Runners early. To start, Web's one-turner (Tainted) sat out the game with his niggling injury. On the opening drive they scooped up the ball and headed downfield and then delayed the TD for a few extra blocks - a good move as one Web gutter runner was badly hurt and the other was KOed. On the next drive, the gutter runner did not wake up so Web was undermanned and lacking any runners for the drive. Komodo Dragon tried to drive with the ball, but nothing was going right for Web. Then suddenly everything changed...suddenly the threat of no more mice for snacks invigorated the Web. Shortlife KOed the Tunnel Runner's rat ogre who would stay out for most of the rest of the game. Several other good blocks and a badly hurt (on a skull by Tunnel Runners)...Tunnel Runners had the ball though and attempted a pass...but fumbled the pass. Two blocks and 2 gfi by Komodo Dragon and he scooped up the ball then tossed it to a linerat who used a gfi to score and suddenly it was 1 - 1 going into the second half.

The second half had the Web starting to play hard - they received the ball and immediately badly hurt two more Tunnel Runner players. With the gutter runner awake now, they pressed their advantage and soon it was 2-1. The Tunnel Runners started to fall apart, their KOs were not waking up, a trip on a gfi resulted in a 4th badly hurt. Everything that could go wrong, did and Web took advantage to get the insurance score and go up 3-1 with 2 turns left. The last turns were a bit of blocking, but nothing critical (the rat ogre finally came back).

Overall, a fun exciting game, and all 5 CAS during the game were badly hurts, so both teams should be better prepared for their next opponents!”
