Victory over Seattle gives Cougars back-to-back titles; Superbeasts 0-3 in the big game
For the second year in a row, Priest Holmes led the Miami Cougars to the TBFFL Championship. Holmes led the Cougars with 17 points, as they held on to beat the Seattle Superbeasts, 72 to 65. Seattle got 37 points from LaDanian Tomlinson Sunday afternoon, but it wasn't enough to prevent the S-Beasts from losing their third TBFFL Bowl. Miami, 12-6, also got 12 from WR Koren Robinson. QB Marc Bulger, who quarterbacked both teams, scored 10, and was the only Seattle player besides Tomlinson in double-digits.
Miami held a 27-5 lead after Saturday's action, as Kevan Barlow's 7 and Patriots' kicker Adam Vinatieri scored 6 to go with Robinson's 14. Holmes scored his 17 during Sunday's early action, while Seattle's Tony Gonzalez (5), Deuce McAllister (4), and Chad Johnson (2) were held to a combined 11 points, and Seattle, 15-3, looked to be headed to defeat, trailing 69-26. Tomlinson, however, tried his best to bring the Superbeasts back, rushing for 245 yards and 2 touchdowns in a 21-14 Charger victory over the Raiders. The comeback fell short, however, as Seattle WR Anquan Boldin only scored 2, while Miami's Freddie Jones scored three, and the Cougars held on.Miami, who defeated Tampa 84-79 in last year's TBFFL Bowl, are 2-0 in TBFFL Bowls, while Seattle falls to 0-3. The Cougars and the Superbeasts are the only teams that have appeared in more than one TBFFL Bowl. Seattle lost to Connecticut in 2001 and Texas in 2000.
QB Marc Bulger, who became the first person to start for both teams in one TBFFL game, was injured in the Rams' 30-20 loss to Detroit Sunday and his status for the Rams' first playoff game, which will be January 10 or 11, is uncertain. He scored 10 points, with 170 yards passing and 1 TD and 1 INT, before being replaced by Kurt Warner in the fourth quarter.
Holmes rushed for only 50 yards, but had two touchdowns in the Chiefs' 31-3 victory over the Bears Sunday.
