“Playoff season 12.

What a fun game, and a happy ending for Vikings. Could have ended any way really. Vikings first drive had Fuller catching kick-off and running ahead. Could have scored turn 2, but ahead in numbers so the team tried to see if the drive could be dominated. Turns out it could not, and score came by turn 4 (right?).

Marauders face a perfect defense but drive up through the middle, pusing ahead with half the team and the ball. King leaps in there - POW! And then catches the ball and retreats another two steps. Sadly still within reach and he goes down again, and Marauders fail to pick up! More mayhem and the ball is changing hands, bouncing here and there. In the end Malones shows the worth of Ag5 and pick up and throws from a tricky situation, finally getting 1-1 by turn 6.

Two turns - Vikings surge ahead but mess up a bit against a solid defense. Pass to lone lineman in end zone was intercepted!

Marauders score fairly quickly in second, going 2-1. Vikings strike back for 2-2. Last drive. Marauders surge ahead again, Vikings cut them off in the middle. Malones passes over their heads.... failed catch! Samuel fails a critical catch. Vikings then remove several players, but Bruschi drops pick up. On the return the ball bounces and Bruschi gets it, instead of open for Ag5. He runs away, screened. Wright in scoring range, and Marauders fail to get there. Last turn. Hand over - 3-2.

A lot of back and forth, positioning and daring plays. Thanks.
