5th & Long
Week 17 doesn’t care about what you meant to do, or what your roster looked like in October. It only cares about totals. One round is already in the books, and now we’re staring at the second half of a two-week playoff where every point counts the same, whether it comes on Christmas Day or Sunday night. There are no style points left. This is math, nerve, and lineup discipline. Some teams are protecting leads. Others are chasing aggressively.

The undefeated squads are strutting, the winless teams are panicking, and the rest are just hanging on for dear life. Hoop Dreams and the Azure Gargoyles have stormed out to perfect 3–0 starts, while Colonel Sanders Was Offsides and the Bishop Backers are stuck in the basement at 0–3, wondering if this season is already slipping away.
Micah Hyde Yo Kids pulled off a statement win, Andy Reid’s FUPA finally got into the win column, and Los Gallegos look like they’re heating up at just the right time.
