Allentown Iron Men (1-0) defeat the Weirton Wiggers (0-1) 90.09 to 58.78
The Iron Men laid an early season beatdown on the Wiggers of Weirton thanks to blistering performances from running backs Arian Foster and Matt Forte. Foster rushed for just over 230 yards and 3 touchdowns, while Forte got it done in the air with 151 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns to go with his 50 yards rushing. Weirton had no answer, as the Wiggers were recipients of poor performances from QB Kevin Kolb, who was knocked out of action with a concussion, and wide receivers Randy Moss and Malcom Floyd who combined for only 7.35 points total. Weirton will most likely have to move forward with Kolb or backup Matthew Stafford, who both sustained injuries that may keep them out of action for some time.
Indiana Ignition (1-0) over the Alliance Assualt (0-1) 69.71 to 60.90
The Ignition failed to replace the inactive Beanie Wells in their lineup Sunday afternoon, meaning they were at a disadvantage going into this game. However, Alliance just couldn't get their ground game going, as Shonn Greene proved he wasn't ready for some football Monday night, turning in a negative point performance. Steven Jackson was the leading back, netting a mere 5.35 points, and rookie C.J. Spiller was nowhere to be found gathering only 1.7 points. Meanwhile, Indiana feasted on Peyton Manning's 26.66 point day and Visanthe Shaincoe's Thursday night performance of 10.8 points. Despite the fact that Michael Turner had a rough 2.7 point effort and Ryan Grant suffered an injury, the Ignition used the 8 point showing by the Baltimore Defense to get ahead once and for all Monday night.
Chewton Champs (1-0) beat the Youngstown Zoes (0-1) 65.69 to 48.87
The Zoes lone double digit effort came from their kicker, Mason Crosby and the next top performer was QB Brett Favre with 7.42 points. This was a problem for Youngstown, as they just couldn't score enough points offensively. Chewton meanwhile used a great 18.21 point performance by Philip Rivers to secure the win. Also remarkable was the Jets Defense with 12 points and LeSean McCoy who gathered 11.35 points. Disappointing the Champs were Brent Celek with 2.1 points and Ryan Longwell who lost a point due to a blocked extra point. However, Chewton was able to overcome Youngstown's lowest point total of the week.
Prospect Pioneers (1-0) trounce the Honolulu Muffdivers (0-1) 82.01 to 56.21
The week started inauspiciously with kicker Garrett Hartley missing two field goals indoors Thursday night, but ended on a high note as the Pioneers gained the second most points in the league this week, thanks to big games from QB Tom Brady with 23.16 points and WR Miles Austin's 15.8 points. Meanwhile, opponent Honolulu participated in their first ever LFFL league game, and suffered some growing pains, as second round pick Wes Welker was benched, the Oakland Defense gained zero points, and flexman Darrius Heyward-Bey had trouble cracking the one point barrier, gaining only 0.80 points. While QB Aaron Rodgers scored points (12.21) and will continue to do so week after week, this team's next most valuable player is Dallas Clark who was the Muffdiver's top scorer this week, with 12.75 points. Honolulu will have to wait until Week Two to try for their first ever LFFL win.
Ellwood Dishsoaps (1-0) wash the Laurel Skullets (0-1) 70.39 to 57.74
First overall pick in the LFFL draft Chris Johnson came up big for the Dishsoaps in Week One, gaining 20.50 points as he ran all over the vaulted Oakland rush defense. Also having a nice opening week was Ellwood's other running back, Ronnie Brown, who had his own 10.75 points. While the Dishsoaps may need to be concerned about their wide receiver production, Steve (Giants) Smith and Mike (60 Minutes) Wallace only combined for 7 points, Larry Fitzgerald should come around once he's built up a rapport with his new passer. Laurel meanwhile, only had one double-digit performance, 12.70 points from WR Reggie Wayne. Quarterback Matt Schaub was 9 for 17 in what turned out to be a ground attack game, meaning he only put up 5.99 of his own points, much to the Skullet's chagrin. However, looking at their roster, it's clear that brighter days are most likely ahead for Laurel, and they shouldn't read too much into this loss.
