Talons Central Weekend Roundup

Chicago 63, Utah 40: Chicago was just too much to handle in this one. There is not much more to say. Utah is just a bad team that cannot compete with the top teams in the league.

Arizona 77, Tulsa 76: This game was an offensive shootout. Neither team could stop the other. Tulsa forced Arizona to some 4th downs but the Rattlers were always able to convert, usually for a TD. Tulsa was also hindered in an early ejection of defensive back B.J. Barre. Arizona also got some lucky breaks by recovering three Talons forced fumbles. In the end Arizona had the ball and was able to convert on the last play, due to some blown coverage and tackling by the Talons.

Iowa 68, Oklahoma City 60: A great game on the NFL Network. Both teams scored in about every way imaginable in this game. Botch kickoffs for TDs, Blocked Extra Points returned for two points. It all happened here! In the end the Iowa front three got to Tommy Grady and forced a bad 4th quarter on the Yard Dawgz to win the game.

Milwaukee 72, Tampa Bay 61: This game looked like it was just going to be a shootout until the fourth quarter. By then the Iron defense started to pickup on the storm and force some turnovers and stops. In the end the best team in the league pulled away and got to 3-0.

League Leaders:

Receiving TDs: Donovan Morgan (TUL) 12

Passer Rating: Chris Greisen (MIL) 137.5
