In the words of Winky White prior to the start of the game, "John
B's gonna bring that thang home for the BFL." And that is exactly
what he did, taking advantage of Ice Ellis miscues and turnovers to win
the PFL Online Superbowl I 45-29.
John Bd the scoring early with an impressive 3 minute 50 plus yard
drive capped by a Marshall Faulk 7 yard run off the right side to strike
first blood early in the first quarter. The game continued at a furiously
hurried with Ice throwing his second interception on his second drive
of the game. However, it was called back due to an offsides penalty on
John B. Ice then struck on the very next play, going 72 yards on a quick
slant to Jimmy Smith for the score.
But John B came right back on the first play after the ensuing kick off,
scoring on a 82 yard strike to Tory Holt who was at least 5 yards behind
the secondary. From there it was all Rams. Ice, chosing to go for it in
his own territory, two consecutive series, gave John B a short field to
work with. And that he did, as the Rams built a 31-7 half time lead.
Ice cut the lead to 31-21 midway through the 3rd period, but it was John
B going to Tory Holt again to break the game38-21 at the start of
the 4th quarter. Holt snagged the TD after it was deflected by Darius
in what looked to be a broken up pass. The next thing you know, Holt was
in the end zone. John B would score again to make it 45-21 before Ellis
got a late TD, which is where the game stood at 45-29.
The championship is the first for John B. In addition to braggin rights,
John B takes home a beautiful flat screen television for the grand prize.
When asked if he would return to defend his title in the next season,
John B exclaimed "Yes Sirrrr!" The Swammi has not announced
when the next PFL Online Season would kick off but he did say that it
would be soon.
