Seattle defeats Terror 100-58, reaches 3rd TBFFL Bowl
Fred Taylor's 28 points Sunday, along with 28 from Priest Holmes on Saturday, led the Miami Cougars to a 30-point victory over the Grand Rapids Reapers, and the Cougars reached their second TBFFL Bowl in as many years. Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison, Grand Rapids' leaders this year, came up small in a 31-17 Indianapolis loss to Denver Sunday night. Manning only managed 5 points, with no touchdowns, and Harrison only scored 8. The Ravens defense led the Reapers (9-8) scoring with 26 points. Miami (11-6), goes for their second consecutive TBFFL Championship next week against the Seattle Superbeasts.Seattle wrapped up a victory in the SFC Championship Game over Tampa, as LaDanian Tomlinson scored 2 TDs en route to a 21 point performance, and Seattle breezed to a 100-48 lead going into Monday. Ryan Longwell added 10 points Monday Night, but it wasn't enough, as Seattle (15-2) advanced to their third TBFFL Bowl. They lost TBFFL Bowl II to the Connecticut Convicts and in 2000, they lost the inaguaral TBFFL Bowl to the Texas Timberwolves. This year's SFC Championship game avenges last year's SFC title game, in which Tampa defeated Seattle 103-91. The Terror (12-5) were led by 28 points by Priest Holmes.
The Cougars, winners of last year's TBFFL Bowl over Tampa, and the Superbeasts, have the best two records in the TBFFL over the past two seasons. Since the beginning of the 2002 season, Seattle is a league-best 29-5, with two division titles, and Miami is a second-best 27-7-1, with only one divisional title, however they do have a TBFFL championship, while Seattle, which is 51-17 over their four years in the TBFFL, is still looking for it's first.
Marc Bulger quarterbacks both Seattle and Miami, in the inter-conference championship game. Last year Priest Holmes was on both Tampa and Miami's rosters, however he was held out of the Week 17 TBFFL Bowl because he did not play in Kansas City's final game last year with an injury.
