WEEK 1: Game Of The Week

VS.

     Its the first week of the season and already we have seen blowouts, comebacks, and tight matchups. None, however, were as closely matched as the showdown between Queen City's Finest and The Third Frank Reich. 
     Sunday afternoon saw Queen City take an early lead, thanks to underwhelming performances by Matt Ryan (31/47, 319 yds, fum) and Jamaal Charles (10 carries for 59 yds, 1 rec TD). With the impressive play of Calvin "Megatron" Johnson and LeSean McCoy, Reich saw light at the end of the gameday tunnel.
     With just Monday night looming, Reich clutched the lead in a race that was tighter than when he used to wear his sisters jeans. But with Brandon Marshall and Pat Chung still yet to play for the Finest, victory was anything but guaranteed. 
     Chung racked up 9 tackles. Marshall pulled in 7 grabs for 139 yds. Von Miller and Brandon Lloyd had decent nights for Denver, but it just wasn't quite enough to let Reich hold on. It was a fun contest to follow and ended in a W for QC by a 2.5pt margin. Props to both teams, but this writer would like to give most props to Finest's co-owner Wyatt Nadolny, as I am sure most of the team's transactions this week were a product of his football finesse.
