“This sure was a see-saw of a match!

The rats opened strong with a first block BH on a norse blitzer, followed by a quick and easy 2 turn TD. The Dogs lined up feeling good - and then things went south. About 5 casualties later (1 apothed RIP and good old Iron Man negating anther from a failed dodge) the rats weren't feeling so cocky - two terrible Stripped Ball bounces and 3 consecutive turns of first action turnovers led to a norse TD in the dying seconds of the half.

Having lost some of their momentum, the coach gave the team a good talking to at halftime, and the little gits came back swinging! Two BLITZ kickoff results in a row led to a score of 3-1 for the honorable little cheating bastitches. However, there was still plenty of time on the clock, and another snakeye led to the Vikings getting the ball and equalizing the score 3-3 with only seconds left. The rats' desperate attmept to push far enough for Forrest to score in a single mad sprint failed, and the game went to OT, with 0 to 2 RR in the norse's favor, and the rats kicking. Things seemed grim...

Then a quick opportunity came for another Stripped Ball, this one bouncing more favorably. A key turnover by the norse allowed the gutter squad to move the ball downfield and even perform a risky stalling maneuver, running down the clock substantially before being forced to score by norse pressure.

With less than a minute remaining and few rats on the pitch, the norse seemed sure to tie the score before the clock ran out. Another bad block led to an opportunity for the Dogs - although in retrospect they didn't capitalize properly on it (choosing to Blitz the wrong receiver) and the norse managed to recover and even out the score as the clock ran out - leading to the dreaded coin toss.

While Dogs Go Walking's coaching and management maintain that they performed no slight of hand in the resulting flip, it was noted by a few that the referee performing the actual toss seemed to be rather stooped and long nosed, wearing a hood and oddly torn and bloodied referee stripes. One fan even swore they saw a tail peeking out from the left pany leg, although that fan could not be reached afterwards for comment.

In the end 'tails' had it, and the Dogs Go Walking skaven emerged as NFL season 1's undefeated champions!

**Note: Although the ofiicial MVP went to Black Lab for...I dunno, taking the only perma-lump of the game maybe... it truly belonged to our strip balling gutter runner Spot, with a Completion, and an amazing 3 TD and 2 Casualties! **”
