week 5
——

The scoring in the league has increased for three consecutive weeks. Week 5 saw the league explode for a new high in 2026 with 85.90 points. Country Beckham Hock led all teams in scoring with 9.70 points and 8 touchdowns. CBH shares the lead with the Sea Pigeons for most touchdowns scored in a single week. They snapped a season high 2 game losing streak in the win. The Purple People Eaters were not too far behind Country Beckham Hock. They came in with a total score of 9.40 points. They have landed in the Top 5 for three straight weeks. The Purple Crew is the hottest team in the league during that time span. They are ranked 1st with an average of 8.87 points. Well Played Matt! What a Game! The 0-5 Hoghead gave Virtual Destruction a run for its money. Hoghead has not made a move to their roster all season. Remember the 2016 Nelson Neat Team. NNT made it all the way to the Finals without making a roster change. OJH defeated them 8.70 to 4.10 in the Finals. Thank Goodness. Virtual Destruction held off the pesky Hoghead to collect their 4th win of the season. The Sea Pigeons had to tally 8.40 points in order to record the first comeback victory of the season in the league. Matthew Stafford got 3 tubs in the final quarter to secure the come-from-behind victory. No Lamar Jackson. No problem. OJ Hernandez ran their record to 4-1 without Jackson. OJH is tied with 3 other teams with 3 consecutive wins. Team Squizard moved above .500 for the first time this season. They also needed late game heroics to post their 3rd win in a row.

🏆 Snickers Game of the Week

EXTREME DAZE of MAIZE vs. Sea Pigeons

• Final Score: EXTREME DAZE of MAIZE (6.40) vs. Sea Pigeons (8.40)

An instant classic unfolded as each team controlled the leads for three full quarters, leaving the final frame to decide it all. The Sea Pigeons struck first, holding their ground until a massive 3rd-quarter surge from EXTREME DAZE of MAIZE—fueled by a game-high 3.00-point performance from Aaron Rodgers—swung the game around. Entering the final quarter, both teams had just one starter remaining on the board: Greg Rousseau for MAIZE and Matthew Stafford for the Sea Pigeons. Stafford completely locked it down, sparking a late 3.00 to 0.00 run to steal an incredible 8.40 to 6.40 comeback victory. It marks the Sea Pigeons’ 7th career comeback victory.

Despite the painful collapse, EXTREME DAZE of MAIZE made history by passing the Scottsdale Scorpions for 9th place all-time with 107 total career points scored in the Game of the Week. Meanwhile, the Sea Pigeons celebrate their 17th career Game of the Week victory (holding a .438 all-time win percentage in the marquee slot, ranked 20th all-time) and officially leapfrogged the NORCAL NUGGETS for 5th place on the all-time league leaderboard with 38 franchise wins.

🏈 Hoghead vs. Virtual Destruction

• Final Score: Hoghead (7.20) vs. Virtual Destruction (8.20)

Virtual Destruction narrowly escaped a catastrophic upset, surviving an absolute onslaught from Hoghead’s Drake Maye, who single-handedly found the endzone 5 times to nearly pull off the upset win. It was a shocking scare considering Hoghead has not been active all season. Virtual Destruction’s stagnant offense finally found a spark after failing to cross the 4.00-point threshold over the last two weeks.

Ultimately, Virtual Destruction won this game entirely on the defensive side of the ball, outscoring Hoghead’s defense 2.30 to 0.20 to lock down the 8.20 to 7.20 win. They can thank their lucky stars for the victory, as an inactive Hoghead lineup left three non-active (NA) players in their defensive starting rotation. With the hard-fought win, Virtual Destruction successfully climbs into a tie for first place in the league standings with OJH.

🏈 Gothams Finest vs. OJ Hernandez

• Final Score: Gothams Finest (5.50) vs. OJ Hernandez (5.90)

An inactive Gothams Finest squad left an absolute mountain of points sitting on their bench, as they have not been active since their Week 3 clash against Team Squizard. OJ Hernandez took full advantage of the ghost ship. Gothams Finest managed to capture their only lead of the day during the 2nd quarter, but OJH slammed the door shut in the 3rd frame, racking up a game-high 3.00 points to retake control for good and leave Gothams Finest trailing.

Gothams Finest didn’t go quietly, making the final frame highly interesting by dropping 2.00 points to pressure the lead. Had Gothams Finest simply adjusted their lineup and inserted Tyler Loop over Harrison Butker, the final outcome would have been completely reversed. Instead, OJ Hernandez hangs onto a narrow 5.90 to 5.50 victory to win the Week 5 Gillette ProGlide Razor Thin Award, securing their 29th all-time Razor Thin Award to sit at 2nd place in league history with a margin of just 0.40 points.

🏈 Country Beckham Hock vs. Seahawks

• Final Score: Country Beckham Hock (9.70) vs. Seahawks (8.80)

The Seahawks put together a flawless “full stack” performance with every single starting offensive player hitting at least 1 point or more on the day. Their offense continues to look highly improved over the last few weeks, resulting in an 8.80-point total—the Hawks’ highest-scoring performance of the season.

Unfortunately for the Hawks, recording their first career franchise full stack in a loss was a bittersweet pill to swallow against a buzzsaw Country Beckham Hock lineup. CBH didn’t have a full stack, but they had two superstars completely break the slate. Jared Goff and Jahmyr Gibbs combined for an incredible 6.00 points, accounting for a massive 61.86% of the team’s entire offensive output. The performance secured Country Beckham Hock the Week 5 DirectTV High Score Award with a spectacular 9.70 points. This marks their 9th career High Score Award (8th all-time), placing them in a prestigious 3-way historical tie with the Snatchshots and EXTREME DAZE of MAIZE.

🏈 HORSE WITH NO NAME vs. Purple People Eaters

• Final Score: HORSE WITH NO NAME (5.80) vs. Purple People Eaters (9.40)

The Purple People Eaters are officially starting to cook on offense, stringing together their second consecutive victory as they edge closer to a red-hot streak. HORSE WITH NO NAME managed to jump out early, capturing their singular lead of the game with a solid 2nd-quarter performance.

However, the “P-Men” completely flipped the matchup on its axis during a monster 3rd-quarter onslaught, dropping a league-high 7.70 points in that single frame. HORSE WITH NO NAME mounted a late fight in the final quarter, outscoring the Purple Crew 1.20 to 0.50, but the deficit was simply too wide to overcome. The Purple People Eaters walk away with a commanding 9.40 to 5.80 win to claim the Week 5 Toyota Tundra Biggest Blowout Award, passing pamlico for sole possession of 4th place all-time with 17 career Blowout Awards on a 3.60-point margin of victory.

🏈 Team Squizard vs. Scottsdale Scorpions

• Final Score: Team Squizard (5.70) vs. Scottsdale Scorpions (4.90)

Whenever Team Squizard and the Scottsdale Scorpions share a field, entertainment is guaranteed. Both franchises walked into Week 5 deadlocked with an even 3-3-0 all-time regular-season head-to-head record, though the Scorpions held the recent edge after winning their last few meetings. This chapter featured a wild, exhausting battle defined by three distinct lead changes, where Team Squizard dominated the first half before the Scorpions took absolute control of the second half.
The Scorpions carried a tight 1.20-point lead straight into the crucial 6th quarter, threatening to extend their win streak over their rivals. Luckily for Team Squizard, they had a premier weapon waiting in the wings. Davante Adams took over the 6th frame, punching the ball into the endzone twice to engineer a brilliant, late-game 5.70 to 4.90 comeback victory. The clutch performance earns Team Squizard their league-leading 10th career comeback win.
