Congrats CJ, your team made more plays than mine. If my usually reliable kicker makes just 1 of those 2 he missed, we could have kicked a game winner at the end instead of having to go for a TD. Big Game Rudi showed why he is the best postseason RB in USFL history but not enough of his teammates helped him out. Plus the coaches could have gave him a few more touches in the 2nd half.

My defense looked a little tired in the 2nd half as well, chasing Chase Miles all over the field.

Oh yeah big surprise, Jimmy Hoffa listed as Out now. F U Injuries.

I hope I draft all the guys you are targeting lmao.

Greg game greg....I love the one play where one of your guys got hurt, FIVE of my guys got hurt plus we were outsides on a 36 yard gain.....I've never seen a play where SIX players get hurt EVER.

Yeah you missed two fieldgoals, 46 and 53 yards but Dean threw 2 interceptions to kinda wash it out. I think the pivotal play was holding you to a fieldgoal after the 2nd INT and of course holding you to 6 yards on 4th and 7 at the end.

I'm glad it was a good game

Edit to add

Rudi is a beast

Rudi is a beast. Gonna be awhile before anyone approaches his playoff rushing totals.

World Bowl XI: Houston 27, New Jersey 23

The team with fewer first downs, fewer yards, more turnovers, a worse third-down conversion rate, and almost 10 fewer minutes of possession won a league championship game Wednesday. Go figure.

The Houston Gamblers took home their second big trophy in three years by edging the New Jersey Generals, 27-23. Houston coach Cjfred68 was given a Gatorade shower by his players after leading the Gamblers to a title in his first full season at the helm.

The Generals led early, 17-7, but Houston kept coming back with big plays. The Gamblers scored TDs on drives of 75, 94, and 75 yards. QB Tony Dean threw the go-ahead TD pass 67 yards to Gabriel Ahrens with 10:25 remaining and Daniel McCormick accounted for the final score via a field goal with 2:13 to play. New Jersey got as close as the Houston 33, but four consecutive incompletions halted the Generals' final drive.

Gamblers RB Chase Miles (whose default rating is a 62) was named MVP after compiling 45 yards rushing, 161 yards receiving, and two TDs. Gamblers SS Paul Sabella was credited with 11 tackles. Rudi Johnson piled up 157 yards rushing and 60 receiving for the Generals.
