GRIDCARD Week 50 Recap
Game 100: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
With the season on the line, the Detroit Lions came up with a good call, maybe the best of the year–a 51-yard TD pass to TE Brock Wright on 4th-and-inches that beat the Jets 20-17. Dal Prescott’s pick-6 was bad for the Cowboys. They lost to the Jags in OT 30-24 on the tipped-ball INT. On their way to OT, the Patriots lost to the Raiders by that same score when Jakobi Meyers took a lateral and inexplicably threw the ball backward 20 yards to Las Vegas’s Charlie Jones who returned it 48 yards to end the game–the ugliest play of the year by far.
On the GridCard, Teunesto (42) put up a TallBoy to earn King of the Mountain. It was the first KOTM for Teunesto who edged out two other TBs Ricco1947 (41) and Jeep Lover 2 (41). Eleven other players posted Qualifying Scores, almost all of them AutoPicked: LD (39), btalkington20 (37), Heart of a Hooligan (37), macs detail (36), Mr. Jake 50 (36), tinksdust (35), JD (34), Found Fish (32), Barry (31), Butch (31), and Telestar (31).
The Team GridCard regular season came to a close and the playoffs are set. Team Collins beat VBar 78-80 and secured the top seed over Team Detwiler who defeated TMac 73-59. The PGT was the best of the week, Teunesto (42) and Ricco1947 (41), scoring and drubbing the OG 83-57. Fictionasy came up just short of VBar for the playoffs when they lost to LFL 67-64.

Game 99: Vahalla About That
Trailing the Colts 33-0 at halftime, Patrick Peterson told his Vikings teammates, “We need five touchdowns to win this game.” Kirk Cousins threw for 460 yards–417 of them after the Peterson challenge, and rallied Minnesota to a 39-36 win in OT, the biggest comeback in NFL history. Cousins finished 34/54 with 4 TDs. Greg Joseph had the 40-yard game-winning field goal.
