Just played a very exciting football game with strahanfan92
Great Game the last 60 seconds were beyond crazy
Onside Kicks that get recovered, 50+ yard throws, Fumbles that get returned for TDs, INTs for TDs
The last minute is a Highlight Reel
Detroit, MI (AP) - Round One of the F.A.N.D. Tournament would pit Coach krul's Detroit Lions against Coach Aso's Oakland Raiders at the Oakland Coliseum. Both coaches have played each other twice as the rivalry currently holds a 1-1 tie as this game would not only decide who has the rivalry lead, but who would advance in the F.A.N.D. tournament.
The Lions would win the toss and elect to defer. The Raiders would start from their own 28 yard line and after converting their first 3rd down, they would move down into Lions territory rather easily. Until facing another 3rd and 6 at the Lions 18 in which JaMarcus Russell would throw an incomplete pass as Oakland would settle for a field goal. Perhaps an even bigger loss for the Raiders would be HB Darren McFadden suffering turf toe that would keep him out for the rest of the game. 3-0 Raiders.
Detroit's offense would move right down the field their first drive on 5 plays for 66 yards on a big 3rd and 4 as rookie QB Matthew Stafford would dump off a HB screen to Maurice Morris who would break 2 tackles and run down the sidelines for the big touchdown. 7-3 Lions. On the following Raiders possession, Detroit's defense would come up with a big 3 and out stop giving their offense the ball back on their 20. The Raiders defense would respond right back with a big interception putting them on the Lions 35 yard line. The very first play on their drive though, rookie FS Louis Delmas would make a huge hit on HB Michael Bush who would fumble and the Lions recovered the ball right back. Several plays later the Lions would find themselves in the endzone again as HB Maurice Morris would take a handoff on 3rd and goal from the 4 and follow his blocks into the endzone. 14-3 Lions.
Finally Oakland would find it's way into the endzone easily next drive as terrible tackling would lead to an easy touchdown to bring them within 4 late in the 2nd quarter. Coach Krul said I see your touchdown, I raise you another as on the very first play Stafford would dump off a screen to Calvin Johnson who would follow his blocks and outrun everyone else for the 75 yard touchdown! 21-10 Lions with a little under 2 minutes remaining in the half. On the next drive Russell would go deep to Heyward-Bey, but overthrow him big time right into the hands of CB Phillip Buchanon who would take it all the way back to their own 49 yards with 20 seconds remaining in the half. With Detroit having all 3 of it's timeouts left, Coach krul would play aggressive. The Lions wouldn't be able to capitalize though as the teams headed into halftime 21-10.
Stafford and company would take the field from their 20 to start the second half off, but Oakland's defense would force a quick 3 and out. They would capitalize on the next possession kicking a 58 yard field goal making it a one possession game. 21-13 Lions. It wouldn't last long though as on the very first play of the next drive, Stafford would fake it to the half back and throw a bomb up to Calvin Johnson who had a step on Asomougha, catching it, then breaking the tackle for the quick touchdown. 28-13 Lions.
The Raiders would end up tacking on another field goal, but that would be it as the Lions ended up winning the game 28-16 as Coach krul would advance to the 2nd round of the F.A.N.D. tournament.
Good Game Aso.
