Story of the season: Las Vegas scoring 6 points in two games while spending $32 mil on three QBs, the starter Sante having thrown 0 TDs to 3 INTs. Technically, Sante has given the other team as many points as his team has scored by throwing a pick six against Yuma. Perhaps the AI has taken FOF7's mantra of "QB is super important now" a bit too seriously.
Last week they had 30 net passing yards against Anchorage (thanks to 7 sacks), which I have to believe is a record.
I have a feeling their punter may be going to the pro bowl, but even he isn't all that good.
The lone bright spot? Their pass D hasn't given up a receiving TD this year, however that's in large part to teams giving up on the pass in order to run the clock out.
Geez we are 0-3. Talk about the highs and lows of the game. Didn't see this big of a drop off coming. Real life football film study is getting in the way of FOF film study!
Hey, the Bostonians put up a nice show against Columbus! 95 total yards allowed, and 414 the other way. The team pass rush recorded a pass rush stat on 60% of Columbus pass plays (16 hurries, 4 sacks, 1 block) and had 8 knockdowns on top of that. Hopefully there's some more of this in the tank.

I don't know, man, Columbus and Las Vegas are two of the worst teams I've ever seen. They're lacking so much talent it hurts.
Who knew? We lose our franchise QB and have to start 4th year QB, Horace Dehart. While he didn't exactly light them up...three picks and two of them returned for TD's...he did throw a couple TD's himself and controlled the clock. RB Montague ran very well. 115 yards. However, rookie 1st rounder Kennedy Mayes is still trying to find his way. So far in three games, he has 8 carries for -1 yards. That is not the production you look for out of a 1st round pick.
On the defensive side of the ball, Shannon Fulton is on his way to another defensive player of the year season. He has six interceptions already. Well, five of those were this week. That's a record for interceptions in one game by one player.
The defense is going to have to carry the load this season. If the offense doesn't keep making mistakes and turning the ball over, we may be able to salvage this season.
In a defensive struggle, we are able to pull out an overtime victory against Chicago, winning 44-38.
Some fun facts...
-Two 100+ kickoff returns in this game, one by each team.
-Rookie FA QB (former 2nd round pick) Alexander Prescott is 2-0 with a 109.8 QB rating.
-WR Floyd Mallory had a 103 yard kickoff return, plus 132 receiving yards. Last year at this time, I think he had just over 100 receiving yards total for 3 games. The additions of rookie Ike Baker and veteran Jon Brady have opened the field for him this season.
-Defense??? What's that? With the exception of Costa, I believe we probably have the worst LB group in the OSFL. For our defense to play better, these guys all need to step up.
Overall, an entertaining game if you like offense. I would have preferred to win 10-3 :)

Wow! 5 INTs in one game for Fulton. That guy is crazy. Our QB's stunk this game. Hopefully Norm Dakota can do better vs Portland now that Cary Money is out for a while.
