“Lets start with a rant! Another injury, another MNG. Feels like Patriots have to limp through the season, as there was / is at least 1 missing player so far in every round.

About this particular ballgame: FELT LIKE PLAYOFFS! Both teams were pushing really hard. Blitzed hard, fouled hard. And the referee let the teams play. Both teams had 2 MNG players. That is 4 players missing. 4 players that could be starters for most teams. 4 missing players meant that any injury / sentoff may play a major role in the outcome.

Key moments were 2 fouls and 2 events:
- In the first half Bandits fouled and BHd Curry, which turned their fortune around and lead to a comfortable late score.
- Blitz event for Bandits to stop the hope of the 2 turn score at the end of 1st half.
- Fouling and BHing Sapp.
- Perfect Defense by Patriots to position perfectly for the defensive score.

With that said the game went our way in the 2nd half. Key decision was to score in the 2nd half and go for the win instead of the sure tie. The weather played a major part in that decision, as the infamous Averheim PUNT was not possible under those conditions, hence Patriots were able to agressively go after the ball.”
