Hakkapeliitat / ‘99ers - week 3
This week’s games were a split - Hakkapeliitat won, niners lost.
Hakkapeliitat won and took a position on top of the standings. Leading the march were the two running backs - both Marion Barber and Frank Gore (Cowboys and ‘niners, respectively) put up formidable yards in their games. And the air force responded to the gropos call, all three of the wide receivers scoring in double figures. The first minuses of the season were hauled in by the Patriots’ defense that was turned into swiss cheese at the feet of the Miami running game.
Niners lost pretty much on account of a single opponent. Ronnie Brown of Miami Dolphins single-handedly massacred the still high-flying Patriots by running for four touchdowns and passing for one to add insult to injury. The Cincinnati air force finally clicked, and the previously well-hidden T.J. Houshmandzadeh returned to his scoring habits. The rookie brigade had a quiet night, especially Eddie Royal, whose single point was the low mark for the season. Chicago’s defense and Nick Folk continued their scoring ways, though neither of them put up an exceptional performance this week.
Apart from a surprise acquisition of Ronnie Brown for the Hakkapeliitat (the owner waived him before the sunday’s game) the transactions for the week were to cover the incoming byes on the upcoming games.
Bring on week four.
