The Division of Doom
Most sports have a group or division with an unusually high number of quality teams in it. In the World Cup it is called the “Group of Death”. In the Ultimate League, I call it “The Division of Doom”.

How would you like to have the following teams in your division?
- The 1997 Denver Broncos (12-4) winners of Super Bowl XXXII
- The 1984 Miami Dolphins (14-2), a team led by Hall of Famer Dan Marino playing one of best seasons. He only threw 48 touchdowns and had a QB Rating of 108.9.
- The 1948 Cleveland Browns (14-0), a team that had a perfect season and won the Championship. Granted, they were champion of the All America Football Conference (AAFC), but still.
- The 2011 Green Bay Packers (15-1), led by Aaron Rodgers who arguably had an even better season than Marino ’84. – 45 touchdowns, 6 interceptions, QB Rating of 122.5.
- The rest of the teams: 1996 Denver Broncos, 1989 Cleveland Browns, 2001 Oakland Raiders, 1993 Kansas City Chiefs & 1959 Pittsburgh Steelers.
It’s almost too bad that just one of these teams will go on to the final tournament. I will be watching this division closely.

Best Game of the Week One
2011 Green Bay Packers (15-1) at 1984 Miami Dolphins (14-2)
Aaron Rodgers has a brilliant game throwing 12 for 18, 139 yards, and four touchdowns. Dan Marino is even sharper going 26 for 30, 292 yards and 2 touchdowns. In the end, Miami dominated time of possession (38:34 to 20:26) and also had a running game (2 rushing td’s). The Dolphins win a close one 30-28.

The ’97 Broncos lose 31-19 to the ’01 Raiders, and the ’48 Browns beat up on the ’59 Steelers, 19-13.
