Mitch Williams and Jon Benson were the focal pieces for each offense.
WITH SCORING ABOUND, the Minnesota Vikings made the final push for victory on Sunday, defeating the Oakland Raiders 19-17 at Fryberger Arena. Led by QB Bryan Peterson and a strong set of receivers, the Vikes upped their winning streak to three, and kept the flailing Raiders down yet again.
For the second week in a row, Bryan Peterson quarterbacked a productive Minnesota offense. Front and center, was the un-coverable Mitch Williams, returning to his week one form and scoring several touchdowns--even snatching a few clutch interceptions. FS Dave Benson engineered his trademark zone D while Cullen C. saw his first real time at receiver this season, hauling in a number of impressive catches. Big Dan Benson stuffed the middle and even returned some wayard kicks to boot.
For the Raiders, former two-time MVP Jon Benson stole the show. Bringing in a ridiculous amount of catches, and throwing even more, Jon once again teamed with his brother Steve to put on a knockout performance. Steve also provided a stalwart option on D, intercepting a few passes and defending the long ball even with a leg injury. Pat Fryberger and Justin Cadotte each hauled in some touchdowns while Thomas "T-Bird" Charging Hawk got a sack as well as a TD in his first time out for the team.
The Raiders bounded back with a 3 point lead before a controversial halftime call.
Ricky Thomas had one touchdown playing for both offenses. The game also produced the first fumble of the season--a botched snap from the fatigued T-Bird late in the second half. Rough hitting and occasional rain rounded out the contest.
Tune in next week for more FFL action, and a possible Monday Night Football event coming sometime soon.
A hard-fought rivalry.
