2nd round

(5) 1988 vs. (1) 1985

Team 85 wastes little time answering that question. They dominate and have a 34-6 victory to show for it.

Walter Payton runs for 192 yards with 2 touchdowns in the victory. They hold Team 88 to 43 net pssing yards.

Note to other remaining teams, be afraid.

(3) 1986 vs. (2) 2006

Jim McMahon versus Rex Grossman. Sorry, but I don't see this being close as the 2006 team was one of teh most overrated and lucky teams in history.

While it's closer than I thought it was never in doubt. Team 86 goes on to a 23-6 victory in which Team 06 wasever able to really move the ball.

Walter Payton ran for 180 yards and 1 touchdown as he was player of the game. Bad Rex completed just 9 of 23 passes and was picked twice.

Vikings' Final

(5) 1998 vs. (3) 1976

Randall Cunningham versus Fran Tarkenton. Team 98 looks to prove they are the best team and underrated in the seeding and Cunningham looks to be the first quarterback with two teams in The Finals.

Early in the 1st a 12 yard touchdown run by Chuck Foreman gives Team 76 a 7-0 lead. Team 98 answers as Cunningham caps off a drive with a 5 yard touchdown pass to Robert Smith to tie the game 7-7.

Each team exchanges punts and Team 76 starts from their own 9 with 6:35 left in the game, they almost have to do something now. Brent McClanahan for 1, 2nd and 9 at the 10.

1st round

(8) 1972 vs. (1) 1966

Scott Hunter versus Bart Starr. Will the Super Bowl 1 champions prove that those who did it first did it best?

Jim Taylor gives Team 66 an early lead with a 2 yard touchdown midway through the first. That would be enough for them to win as they would coast to a 24-6 victory. Team 72 would be unable to reach the endzone and only settle for two field goals.

Bart Starr is the player of the game as he throws for over 200 yards with a touchdown.

(7) 2002 vs. (2) 1996

Brett Favre with two different supporting casts.

Ahman Green would give Team 02 a 7-0 lead early in the first. After a turnover Tony Fisher would score on an 18 yard run to give Team 02 a 14-0 lead. It would begin to look like a runaway and it would become one. Team 96 answers a Favre hits Levens for a 1 yard touchdown to make it 14-7 after the first quarter.

Two field goals and a 4 yard touchdown pass from Favre to William Henderson, all for Team 96 would give them a 20-14 lead at the half.

Teams exchange field goals in the third to make it 23-17 after three quarters of play.

A Dorsey Levens 9 yard run, with missed two point conversion and two more field goals, all for Team 96 would give them a 35-17 victory as Team 96 would outscore 35-3 the rest of the way after falling behind 14-0.

Brett Favre for Team 96 would be the player of the game for his two touchdown passes.

(6) 2001 vs. (3) 1967

Brett Favre versus Bart Starr, the two quarterbacks that are the faces of the franchise. Will Team 67 ensure that all three Super Bowl victors advance?

Team 01 shocks everyone by jumping out early and often on their way to a 40-7 dismantling of Team 67.

Ahman Green is the player of the game as he rushes for 132 yards with 2 touchdowns. Favre throws for 275 with 2 touchdowns as well.

(5) 2007 vs. (4) 1997

Another Favre versus Favre matchup.

Favres to Donald Driver for an 8 yard touchdown gives Team 07 a 7-0 lead. Late in the quarter team 97 answers with a 4 yard touchdown from Favre to Mark Chmura (he latched onto that pass like it was a 17 year old girl). The quarter ends tied 7-7.

Vernand Morency scores on a 7 yard touchdown run for Team 07 to give them a 14-7 lead early in the second. Team 97 answers on the next drive as Levens scores on a 2 yard run to tie the game 14-14. A 20 yard field goal gies Team 07 a 17-14 lead. Team 97 manages 2 field goals in the fial 2 minutes of the half to take a 20-17 lead at the half.

On the very last play of the third quarter DeShawn Wynn scores on an 11 yard run to give Team 07 a 24-20 lead at the end of three quarters.

On their first drive on the 4th quarter Team 97 drives a long and methodical 6 minute drive that ends with Favre hitting Freeman for a 24 yard touchdown to give Team 97 a 27-24 lead. Team 07 takes te next drive and goes the distance, capped with a 17 yard touchdown from Favre to James Jones to give them thelead again, 31-27. With 2:12 left in the game Favre goes up top to Robert Brooks for a 44 yard touchdown to give Team 97 a 34-31 lead, this is a seesaw battle. Team 07 starts from their own 35. Incomplete pass,2nd and 10. Favre to Franks for 5, 3rd and 5 at the 40, 2 minute warning. Incomplete pass, 4th and 5 as they may be down to their last chance. Favre dros back, looking, throws to Jennings, complete for 6 yards and a 1st down at the 46. Favre back, looking, under pressure, rolls to his right, he's hit, but scrambles away back to his left, he throw across his body back to the right towards Franks, Leroy Butler jumps in front for the interception and Franks tackles him at the 49. Team 97 runs out the clock for the 34-31 victory. (I have to admit, I laughed when I looked at the play by play to see how their last drive ended and saw the interception)

Dorsey Levens was player of teh game as he ran for 160 yards and had a touchdown. Freeman had over 100 yards receiving and a touchdown as well.

EagleFan · 07-10-2010, 12:50 PM

After holding them to a 3 and out Team 66 starts on their 28 with 2:33 left.

After neither team scores in the first quarter Team 96 opens the scoring midway through the 1st with a 38 yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead. With less than 2 minutes remaining Edgar Bennett would score on an 8 yard touchdown run to give Team 96 a 10-0 lead at the half.

Early in the 3rd Team 96 would add another field goal to extend their lead 13-0. The third quarter would end with Team 96 up 13-0.

On their first drive of the 4th Team 66 gets on the board with a field goal with just under 13 minutes remaining to make it 13-3. With 3:41 left Team 66 makes it a game as Bratkowski, in for a banged up Starr, hits Carroll Dale for a 40 yard touchdown to make it 13-10.

Since the town of Cleveland has divorced the Ravens from their Browns past, the Ravens will be just the Ravens. This leads to an 8-8 number 8 seed.

1st round

Should be one clear favorite in this group but that has not always proven to be the case in qualifying thus far.

1st round

(8) 2009 vs. (1) 1998

Matt Ryan versus Chris Chandler. Team 98 would have to be the clear favorite in this group but will it play out that way?

Jamal Anderson was the player of the game as he ran for over 120 yards with 3 touchdowns. Tony Martin had 148 yards receiving and Terance Mathis had 113 yards receiving for Team 98.

William Andrew was the player of the game as he ran sor 126 yards with a touchdown. Bartkowski threw the ball just 13 times but completed 11 of them with 3 of them for touchdowns. Vick was held to a 9 for 27 performance with 3 interceptions.

(6) 1973 vs. (3) 2008

Bob Lee versus Matt Ryan. Ryan has his second and final chance to advace.

On their first drive Team 08 takes an early lead as Ryan hits Rodd White for a 38 yard touchdown strike to take a 7-0 lead. Team 73 goes on a 5 minute drive after the touchdown to answer with one of their own as Dave Hampton scores on an 8 yard run to tie the game 7-7. The score remains 7-7 through the end of the first quarter.

On the second play of the second quarter Team 08 regained the lead on a 31 yard field goal to take a 10-7 lead. After another 5 minute drive and 31 yard field goal Team 73 would tie it again, this time at 10-10. After exchanging puns Team 08 would drive late in the half and Ryan would hit Jerious Norwood for an 8 yard tochdown with just 11 second left in the half as Team 08 would take a 17-10 lead into the half.

After neither team could do much more than 3 and outs for the early half of the 3rd, Team 73 would finally answer with about 5 minutes left in the third as Lee hits Hampton for a 13 yard touchdown to tie the game 17-17. Team 08 would answer again on the next drive as it would end with Ryan hitting Roddy White for an 8 yard touchdown pass to retake the lead 24-17. The third ends 24-17.

Team 73 would again mount a sustained drive after a Team 08 score and would score on a 25 yard Hampton run with 11 minutes left in the game to tie the game 24-24. A good kick return would put Team 08 in good starting position and 3 plays later Michael Turner would break a 45 yard touchdown to give Team 08 a 31-24 lead with 9 minutes left in the game. After teams exchange punts Team 73 would start at their own 36 with 4:30 left in the game. Eddie Ray for 3 yards, 2nd and 7 at the 39. Art Malone sweeps right for 12, 1st and 10 at the Team 08 49.

Malone to theright for 4, 2nd and 6 at the 19, two minute warning.

Team 78 drives quickly and a Rocky Bleier 10 yard touchdown with 1:09 left gives them slim hope as the score is now 20-14. Onside kick, Tam 78 recovers but a flag is down, offside they have to rekick. Team 95 recovers the second attempt and run the clock out for the upset.

With no Super Bowl teams in the mix the Browns' qualifying is up for grabs for the team that wants it more. Team 71 takes the first lead of the game on a Bo Scott 2 yard run to give them a 7-0 lead midway through the 1st quarter. The quarter would end 7-0but Team 86 will have driven deep into Team 71 territory as the quarter ends. On the second play of the second quarter Kosar hits Ozzie Newsome for a 17 yard touchdown to tie the game 7-7. With just under 6 minutes left in the half Kevin Mack gives Team 86 a 14-7 lead with a 12 yard touchdown run. With just over 2 minutes left Team 71 would tie it when Nelson hits Milt Morin for a 6 yard touchdown. The half would end 14-14. Team 86 would hit two field goals in the third quarter to take a 20-14 lead after the third quarter though Team 71 would end the quarter deep in Team 86 territory, to the 1. On the 1st play of the 4th Team Leroy Kelly plunges over from the 1 to give am 71 a 21-20 lead. With under 8 minutes left Team 71 adds to the lead with a field goal to make it 24-20.

Kosar drops back, under pressure, tries to step up and is sacked for a 3 yard loss, 4th and 10 at the 29, timeout. Their last chance. Kosar takes the snap, back, looking, fires to Slaughter inside the 10 but he can't hang on, they lose the ball on downs. Team 71 runs the clock out for the 24-20 victory. Leroy Kelly is player of the game as he ran for 117 with a touchdown. (7) 1987 vs. (2) 1994 Bernie Kosar versus Vinny Testaverde. Team 87 shuts the door on Team 94 as they control the game defensively on their way to a 24-0 victory. They jumped to a 14-0 lead in the 1st and never looked back. Bernie Kosar was named player of the game as he was 19 of 24 for 375 yards with 3 touchdowns. (6) 1968 vs. (3) 1980 Bill Nelson versus Brian Sipe. Team 80 would see Team 68 jump out to a 10-0 lead after the first quarter and then they put their foot down and outscored them 35-3 the rest of the way for the 35-13 win. They become the first favorite to advance. Brian Sipe is the player of the game as he threw for 212 yards with 3 touchdowns. Mike Pruitt ran for 107 yards and a touchdown in the win.

EagleFan Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Mays Landing, NJ USA	Bears' Final (3) 1986 vs. (1) 1985 Jim McMahon will represent Da Bears, but which version of him?

The teams exchange field goals in the second quarter. At the half Team 85 leads 10-3. With just over a minute left in teh third, Team 86 gets the game to 10-6 with a field goal. The thirds ends with a 4 point game, 10-6 in favor of Team 85. After exchanging punts Team 85 drives to the Team 86 25 but the drive stalls and they settle for a field goal to give them a 13-6 lead. After exchanging punts, Team 86 starts a drive at midfield with 2:16 remaining. Encroachment on the defense, 1st and 5 at the 45. Matt Suhey up the middle for 3, 2nd and 2 at the 42.

Do we fast forward to Favre's game losing interception, or will be save that one for later in the tournament? Neither team can get on the board in the first quarter and it ends scoreless. The 09 team has driven into Team 73 territory as the quarter comes to a close. On the first play of the second quarter Adrian Peterson goes 33 yards for he touchdown to give Team 09 a 7-0 lead. Team 73 hits a field goal on their next posession to getto within 7-3. Team 09 follow that with a drive into Team 73 territory that ends with a Percy Harvin 39 yard touchdown run to give Team 09 a 14-3 lead. Team 73 ends thehalf with another field goal and it's 14-6 at the half. An early field goal by Team 09 in the third gives them a 17-3 lead. They extend that lead with under a minute left in the quarter when Favre hits Visanthe Shiancoe for an 18 yard touchdown. Team 09 leads 24-6 after the third quarter. Late in the 4th Team 73 scores on a 2 yard run from Chuck Foreman to close out the scoring for our final score of 24-13. Adrian Peterson is the player of the game as he ran for 129 yards with a touchdown. (7) 1970 vs. (2) 1969 Gary Cuozzo versus Joe Kapp. Pretty much the same team other than that. Late in the 1st Team 69 scores ona 15 yard pass from Kapp to John Beasley to give them a 7-0 lead. The quarter ends 7-0. Neither team scores in the 2nd and at the half Team 69 leads 7-0. Team 70 hits a field goal midway through the 3rd to get to within 7-3. The quarter ends 7-3 but Team 69 has driven into Team 70 territory as the quarter comes to a close. A 44 yard field goal early in the 4th for Team 69 to give them a 10-3 lead. Both defenses clamp down and the game ends with Team 69 wins 10-3. There is no real standout and Joe Kapp is named player of the game thanks to his touchdown pass. (6) 1975 vs. (3) 1976 Fran Tarkenton versus himself as we see a game of near identical twins facing off. Team 76 scores midway through the 1st on a 22 yard pass from Tarkenton to Chuck Foreman to give them a 7-0 lead. The quarter ends with them up 7-0. Team 75 adds two field goals in the second to get to within 7-6 and that is where the game stands at the half. With just over 9:00 left in the 3rd Chuck Foreman scores for Team 75 on a 10 yard run to give them a 13-7 lead. Team 76 answers immediately with a drive that ends with a 5 yard touchdown run by Brent McClanahan to retake the lead 14-13. The 3rd quarter ends with Team 76 up 14-13. With just under 2 minutes left Team 76 hits a 30 yard field goal to extend their lead to 17-13. Team 75 loses cannot get a first down and turn the ball over on downs on 4 plays and Team 76 runs the clock out for the 17-13 victory. Fran Tarkenton is player of the game as he threw for over 200 yards with a touchdown. (5) 1998 vs. (4) 1974 Randall Cunningham versus Fran Tarkenton. Team 98 looks to prove they should be the top seed in ths tournament, but that technicality of no Super Bowl pushed them down to the 5 seed. Midway through the first Cunningham hits Andrew Glover for a 1 yard touchdown to give Team 98 a 7-0 lead. Late in the first Team 74 answers with a 3 yard touchdown run by Chuck Foreman to tie the game 7-7 which is how the quarter ends. Team 74 adds a late field goal in the second to take a 10-7 lead into the half. Team 74 adds two field goals in the third. After the 3rd quarter Team 74 leads 16-7.

Tarkenton sacked by Stalin Colinet for 8 yards, 2nd and 18 at the 25. Foreman for 1 yard up the middle, 3rd and 17 at the 26. Tarkenton back, looking, hits Foreman in the flat, he sheds a tackle and turns upfield for 23 and a 1st down at their 49. Tarkenton to Stu Voigt for 7 yards to the Team 98 44, 2nd and 3. Tarkenton back, looking, he throws up top to John Gilliam who makes the catch and is down to the 4, a 40 yard strike, 1st and goal. Tarkenton back, looking, sees Foreman open in the endzone, fires, touchdown!!! They take a 22-17 lead and go for two. Foreman is stopped short and the conversion is no good. Team 98 starts at their 23 with 2:51 remaining. Chuck Evans for 3, 2nd and 7. Roberts Smith for 7, 1st down at the 33, 2 minute warning. Incomplete pass, 2nd and 10.

Cunningham drops back, gives to Leroy Hoard, he is up the middle, the defense is fooled as he cuts the outside, sheds a tackler, is across the 20, the 15, breaks one last tackle and is in, touchdown. Team 98 takes a 23-22 lead as they go for two. The conversion is stopped and the score remains 23-22. Team 74 starts at their own 34 with 1:19 and 3 timeouts left.

EagleFan Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Mays Landing, NJ USA	Vikings' Final (5) 1998 vs. (3) 1976 Randall Cunningham versus Fran Tarkenton. Team 98 looks to prove they are the best team and underrated in the seeding and Cunningham looks to be the first quarterback with two teams in The Finals. Early in the 1st a 12 yard touchdown run by Chuck Foreman gives Team 76 a 7-0 lead. Team 98 answers as Cunningham caps off a drive with a 5 yard touchdown pass to Robert Smith to tie the game 7-7. On the very next play from scrimmage Tarketon hits Ahmad Rashad in stride for a 70 yard touchdown strike but they miss the extra point. After the first quarter Team 76 has a 13-7 lead. Early in the second Cunningham hits Randy Moss for a 24 yard touchdown strike to give Team 98 a 14-13 lead. With under 5 minutes to go in the half Leroy Hoard adds to their lead with a 6 yard run to make it 21-13. With second left in the half Team 76 hits a field goal to make the score 21-16 in favor of Team 98 at the half. With under 6 minutes left in the 3rd Tarkenton hits Jim Lash for a 13 yard strike to give Team 76 a 23-21 lead. With just 11 second left in the quarter Robert Smith sneaks through the middle for a 5 yard touchdown run to give Team 98 a 28-23 lead at the end of the third quarter. After a defensive stop Team 98 adds a field goal to take a 31-23 lead with about 11 minutes left in the game. Each team exchanges punts and Team 76 starts from their own 9 with 6:35 left in the game, they almost have to do something now. Brent McClanahan for 1, 2nd and 9 at the 10. Chuck Foreman loses 2 yards 3rd and 11 at the 8. Tarkenton back, looking, fires to McClanahan, complete for 19, 1st down at the 27. Foreman for 1, 2nd and 9 at the 28. Tarkenton back, beig chased, he runs for positive yardage as he picks up 4, 3rd and 5 at the 32. Rober Miller is stopped for o gain on a draw, 4th and 5 at their own 32 and they ar going for it. Tarkenton back, looking, no one is open, he rolls, spots McClanahan in the flat, flips him the pass and he is brought down close to the 1st down mark. They measure and he just got the first down, 1st down at the 37. Tarkentonto Bob Grim for 9, 2nd and 1 at the 46. Foreman up the middle for no gain, 3rd and 1 at the 46, two minute warning.

They are now down 31-29 as time expires and a two point conersion away from overtime. Tarkenton takse the snap, fakes a pitch to the right, drops back, he is being chased, avoids one man, turns up field, tries to stiff arma a would be tackler but start to get drrug down, he stretches forwards toward the line... and falls short.

EagleFan Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Mays Landing, NJ USA	Packers' Qualifying 1. 1966 (12-2)* 2. 1996 (13-3)* 3. 1967 (9-4-1)* 4. 1997 (13-3)x 5. 2007 (13-3) 6. 2001 (12-4) 7. 2002 (12-4) 8. 1972 (10-4) 1st round (8) 1972 vs. (1) 1966 Scott Hunter versus Bart Starr. Will the Super Bowl 1 champions prove that those who did it first did it best? Jim Taylor gives Team 66 an early lead with a 2 yard touchdown midway through the first. That would be enough for them to win as they would coast to a 24-6 victory. Team 72 would be unable to reach the endzone and only settle for two field goals. Bart Starr is the player of the game as he throws for over 200 yards with a touchdown. (7) 2002 vs. (2) 1996 Brett Favre with two different supporting casts. Ahman Green would give Team 02 a 7-0 lead early in the first. After a turnover Tony Fisher would score on an 18 yard run to give Team 02 a 14-0 lead. It would begin to look like a runaway and it would become one. Team 96 answers a Favre hits Levens for a 1 yard touchdown to make it 14-7 after the first quarter. Two field goals and a 4 yard touchdown pass from Favre to William Henderson, all for Team 96 would give them a 20-14 lead at the half. Teams exchange field goals in the third to make it 23-17 after three quarters of play. A Dorsey Levens 9 yard run, with missed two point conversion and two more field goals, all for Team 96 would give them a 35-17 victory as Team 96 would outscore 35-3 the rest of the way after falling behind 14-0. Brett Favre for Team 96 would be the player of the game for his two touchdown passes. (6) 2001 vs. (3) 1967 Brett Favre versus Bart Starr, the two quarterbacks that are the faces of the franchise. Will Team 67 ensure that all three Super Bowl victors advance? Team 01 shocks everyone by jumping out early and often on their way to a 40-7 dismantling of Team 67. Ahman Green is the player of the game as he rushes for 132 yards with 2 touchdowns. Favre throws for 275 with 2 touchdowns as well. (5) 2007 vs. (4) 1997 Another Favre versus Favre matchup. Favres to Donald Driver for an 8 yard touchdown gives Team 07 a 7-0 lead. Late in the quarter team 97 answers with a 4 yard touchdown from Favre to Mark Chmura (he latched onto that pass like it was a 17 year old girl). The quarter ends tied 7-7. Vernand Morency scores on a 7 yard touchdown run for Team 07 to give them a 14-7 lead early in the second. Team 97 answers on the next drive as Levens scores on a 2 yard run to tie the game 14-14. A 20 yard field goal gies Team 07 a 17-14 lead. Team 97 manages 2 field goals in the fial 2 minutes of the half to take a 20-17 lead at the half. On the very last play of the third quarter DeShawn Wynn scores on an 11 yard run to give Team 07 a 24-20 lead at the end of three quarters. On their first drive on the 4th quarter Team 97 drives a long and methodical 6 minute drive that ends with Favre hitting Freeman for a 24 yard touchdown to give Team 97 a 27-24 lead. Team 07 takes te next drive and goes the distance, capped with a 17 yard touchdown from Favre to James Jones to give them thelead again, 31-27. With 2:12 left in the game Favre goes up top to Robert Brooks for a 44 yard touchdown to give Team 97 a 34-31 lead, this is a seesaw battle. Team 07 starts from their own 35. Incomplete pass,2nd and 10. Favre to Franks for 5, 3rd and 5 at the 40, 2 minute warning. Incomplete pass, 4th and 5 as they may be down to their last chance. Favre dros back, looking, throws to Jennings, complete for 6 yards and a 1st down at the 46. Favre back, looking, under pressure, rolls to his right, he's hit, but scrambles away back to his left, he throw across his body back to the right towards Franks, Leroy Butler jumps in front for the interception and Franks tackles him at the 49. Team 97 runs out the clock for the 34-31 victory. (I have to admit, I laughed when I looked at the play by play to see how their last drive ended and saw the interception) Dorsey Levens was player of teh game as he ran for 160 yards and had a touchdown. Freeman had over 100 yards receiving and a touchdown as well.

EagleFan Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Mays Landing, NJ USA	2nd round (4) 1997 vs. (1) 1966 Favre versus Starr.

The will add a field goal late in the quarter and lead 9-0 at the half. Team 97 comes out to start the second half with a 5 minute drive tat ends with a field goal to get to within 9-3. Late in the quarter Favre hits Derrick Mayes for a 13 yard touchdown to take a 10-9 lead. After three Team 97leads 10-9, that missed extra point could be huge. With under 5 minutes to go Team 66 would drive to the Team 97 35 and have a 3rd and 8. Starr back, under pressure, screens it to Jim Taylor, he is hit and fumbles, Team 97 recovers to stop the drive. After holding them to a 3 and out Team 66 starts on their 28 with 2:33 left.

Starrback, looking, being chansed, angles toward the sidelines, dives out of bounds at the 1, 3rd and goal. Play action, Starr is back throws to Taylor but just out ofhis reach, 4th down. They hit the field goal to take a 12-10 lead with 33 seconds left. Team 97 is unable to get past their own 28 in their las few desperation attempts and Team 66 move on. Carroll Dale is the player of the game with 93 yards receiving and a touchdown. (6) 2001 vs. (2) 1996 Favre versus Favre. A victory for the 96 team guarantees that a Super Bowl champion will represent the Packers. Team 96 takes apart Team 01 as they win 38-0. It was completely one sided and three turnovers by Team 01 just sealed their fate. Keith Jackson is the player of the game with over 100 yards receiving and 2 early touchdowns to set the tone.

EagleFan Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: Mays Landing, NJ USA	Packers' Final (2) 1996 vs. (1) 1966 Favre versus Starr. 30 years seperate these teams but one game seperates them from representing their Packers at The Finals. After neither team scores in the first quarter Team 96 opens the scoring midway through the 1st with a 38 yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead. With less than 2 minutes remaining Edgar Bennett would score on an 8 yard touchdown run to give Team 96 a 10-0 lead at the half. Early in the 3rd Team 96 would add another field goal to extend their lead 13-0. The third quarter would end with Team 96 up 13-0. On their first drive of the 4th Team 66 gets on the board with a field goal with just under 13 minutes remaining to make it 13-3. With 3:41 left Team 66 makes it a game as Bratkowski, in for a banged up Starr, hits Carroll Dale for a 40 yard touchdown to make it 13-10. They hold Team 96 to a 3 and out and get the ball back at their own 37 with 2:05 remaining. Starr, who is back in, hits Boyd Dowler for 14, 1st down at the Team 96 49, two minute warning. Starr back, being chased, scrambles, is hit and loses the ball but they recover at the 46, 2nd and 7. Elijah Pitts for 4, 3rd and 3 at the 42. Taylor for 2 on a draw play, 4th and 1 at the 40. They are going to try a 57 yard field goal. The kick is up, it looks like it has the distance but it hits the left crossbar and is no good. Team 96 runs the clock out for the 13-10 victory and they will represent the Packers. Reggie White is the player of the game with 3 sacks.

The Browns qualifying seemed to have one of the better spreads of teams so far in the qualifying rounds as they had no one dynasty team that would take up 4 spots (or more). Team 80 would pick up where they lef off last game with another trouncing of their opponent. The score would be 7-7 after the first but that is as close as it would get as they would go on to a 41-14 vitory. Mike Pruitt would again win player of the game as he ran for 171 yards anda touchdown. Group F Steelers (1995) Browns (1980) Bengals (????) Ravens (????)
