While the Team Fantasy Football League doesn’t start until the beginning of the NFL season, here’s a recap of last week for those who are already playing GridCard.
GRIDCARD Week 34 Recap
Game 68: Ch-Ch-Changes
On Thursday, Purdue had a 31-28 lead and the ball near midfield with under three minutes left but couldn’t hold on against Penn State. Facing 4th-and-6 at the 45, the Boilermakers punted the ball away to the Nittany Lions who engineered an eight-play, eighty-yard drive, capped off by a 10-yard TD pass from Sean Clifford to Keyvone Lee. The Big Ten opener for both teams featured six lead changes, Penn State prevailing 35-31.
On Friday, Indiana beat Illinois 23-20–in another tightly-contested Big Ten opener–this one featuring five lead changes. Ironically, Shaun Shivers scored on a 1-yard dive for the Hoosiers in the closing seconds, this after Indiana had out gained the Fighting Illini 221-32 on the ground. ro
Lots of scoring on the GridCard where Winky (43) put up a larger TallBoy than Go Bucs (40) to claim King of the Mountain. This was Winky’s second KOTM of the year and his first King Kong (73).

GAME 67: New York, New York
Down by three and facing 4th-and-goal from the five, the Jets (-3) would normally have kicked a game-tying field goal and gone to overtime with the Giants (+3). But the new No Preseason Overtime Rule came into play and set the stage for an unlikely cover by the Jets.
After throwing a 29-yard TD pass to Denzil Mims early in the fourth, Mr. August, Chris Streveler connected with Calvin Jackson for the game-winner with 22 seconds left. Jet bettors still had to sweat a PAT and survive a Hail Mary, but in the end, New York beat New York, 31-27.
The Jets late TD made Zeke (39) King of the Mountain by a wide margin. This was Zeke’s third KOTM the year. Seven other players posted Qualifying Scores: Jeep Lover 2 (34), Heart of a Hooligan (33) KDet047 (32), Dano (31), Winky (30), Annabelle (29), and PGT winner MMc (33).
