For me, it was quite the roller coaster FFL weekend that concluded tonight. Going into last night's Vikings-Packers game I had a 22 point lead over my opponent, but he had Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson going in that game plus Sydney Rice tonight. I had the Vikings DST and that was it. I was very nervous about that lead holding up.
I had gone back to the Vikings DST for this game because I saw that Green Bay was getting touchbacks on only half their kickoffs this year so far, meaning the always dangerous Cordarelle Patterson would likely get a chance to run back a kick or two. Sure enough, he took the opening kickoff 109 yards for a TD to open the game. For a brief moment I felt like a freakin' FFL genius.
Then Rodgers and Nelson connected twice for TDs in the first half and with bonus points my lead had dwindled to about 7 and it was looking kind of grim. The only good thing to come out of that game by the time it was over was my 49-46 lead. I had more bench points so I owned the tie-breaker for the match, but if Rice scored a TD or 4 bonus points I was done for the week. I was not confidant the my slim lead would hold up.
The roller coaster continued, only this time in my favor as Rice was injured early in the game tonight and did not return.
Final score: 49-46 and I go to an unprecedented, for me, 7-1. I'll take 'em any way I can get 'em.
