hospital. The Bills, Bengals and the NFL decided not to continue the game leading to a RFFL Bowl in lingo throughout the week. The NFL finally made the decision later in the week that the game would not be continued or replayed. Therefore, the RFFL made the decision that the RFFL Bowl was over, and scores were now final. It took away some of the luster for the retroactive championship victory, but it was understandable with the situation. Thankfully, Hamlin survived the scary incident and hopefully will make a full recovery.

 

On the other side of the field, the Confederates (11-5) were led by RB Jerick McKinnon and TE Dalton Schultz who both scored 17.60 points, New England defense added a solid 12 points and RB David Montgomery struggled with 3.60 points.

 

But if Albert is looking for what went wrong in this one, he can look no further than the WR position. Charleston started four wide receivers in RFFL Bowl XXVI and they ended up being a collective disappointment in the loss. WR Juju Smith-Schuster mustered just 2.10 points, WR Tyreek Hill led the way with 11.70, but rookie sensation Steelers WR George Pickens managed a measly 2.90 points and WR DK Metcalf was essentially a no show with an embarrassing 0.30 points.

 

Allen was the Confederates last hope but would have needed to outscore Burrow by about 30 points. Allen scored 2.72 points to Burrow’s 6.28 points before the MNF game was called and the Confederates’ bleak hopes ended there. Even if both teams had started their backup QBs, the Salsa still roll to a 20-point victory.

 

This was Allen’s third straight RFFL Bowl appearance and first one where he was on the losing end. Despite Allen not being able to win NFL playoff games at this point of his young career, it seems if you want to play in the RFFL Bowl, draft this guy.

 

The Salsa’s draft was unlike anything we’ve seen in the league before. Todd built a team at the draft where 15-out-of-16 drafted players were still on the team at year’s end. He drew the fourth overall pick and had McCaffrey (RB2) fall in his lap for an easy selection, but the great picks kept coming. Dr. Leight took Fournette (RB18) in Round 2 who wasn’t great all year but was a fine starter. Then Round 3, he nabbed Adams who ended the year as WR2 and had huge games for a lot of the year with his new team in Las Vegas.

 

In Round 6, he pulled the lever on another Raiders player Josh Jacobs who was overlooked by the fantasy world. Jacobs turned out a crazy performance as RB1. Anytime you end up drafting the RB1 and RB2 with one of them being in Round 6, you’re off to a stellar start. Two of the Salsa’s starting WRs in the RFFL Bowl (DeVonta Smith and rookie Garrett Wilson) were drafted back-to-back in Rounds 11 and 12. Todd also drafted and rode the 49ers (defense 3) defense all season. Even QB Kirk Cousins, drafted in the final round, ended up as QB6. The only player Todd dropped from his draft this season was 4th round draft pick RB Cam Akers. It was an unheard-of draft that I don’t believe we’ve seen before in RFFL history. Also, the new free agency FAAB system that the RFFL added this season, Todd treated it like it was offensive to spend money on it. He didn’t spend one cent picking up a free agent on waivers. Nor did Todd make any trades. All nine of his starters in RFFL Bowl XXVI were drafted by himself.

 

After making three straight playoff appearances and going one and done in each postseason, the Salsa broke through this season with the best draft and proved it all year long.

 

Both teams had great seasons, going 10-4 and receiving the top two seeds and first-round byes in the playoffs. With the win, Todd improves to 3-2 all-time in RFFL Bowls while Albert drops to 2-2.

 

Dr. Leight’s victory gives him his third RFFL championship, joining the esteemed group of Ryan Alexander, Jared Bridges and Kurt Presnar as the only owners with at least three RFFL titles. Congratulations to Todd on one hell of a season and draft in Year 26.
