Burnsy 4-2 vs MurphMan 1-5

So after the 3pm games the score was:

Murphman 61
Burnsy 38

But Murphman only had Braylon Edwards left, and Burnsy had Thomas Jones, Jennings, Driver, Houston D and Houston Kicker. Surely Burnsy could scrape up enough points.

Well at some point when Houston's D still had lots of points from keeping Detroit scoreless, and Thomas Jones had gotten going, Burnsy took the lead.

At just about 6 pm, with 2:44 remaining in the Cleveland game, on fourth and goal, Joshua Cribbs scores for the Browns. Which gives Edwards the opportunity to catch a 2-point conversion pass, giving Murphman 2 fantasy points to end with 68.

Meanwhile, in Houston, Orlovsky connects to Megatron for a 96-yard touchdown (wait for it) with 2-point conversion. When the Lions add a 54-yard field goal they cross the 21 point threshold, deducting 2 more points from Burnsy's total. Oh and those 96 yards, subtracted 4 points from the Houston defense.

Once that game is over, Burnsy is losing 64-68.

But he has hope. Thomas Jones has 128 rushing yards and the Jets just went into overtime. If he gets 32 yards that gives him 4 points (fantasy tie) or 42 yards for the win. Would you believe on the 2nd play of the 3rd Jets possession in overtime, Jones runs for 10 yards for a overtime total of 33! Burnsy is now tied 68-68. On the next play, Jones loses two yards, the Jets punt and Burnsy loses by a point. Unbelievable.

This makes up for the Marion Barber incident.

A recap of everything that had to happen for Burnsy to lose this game:

• The Browns get a TD on 4th down, so Edwards gets a Re2P (+2)
• Frerotte throws 4 picks (-8)
• Barber fumbles (-2)
• Jennings and Driver combine for 6 points and no TDs even though the Packers scored 34.
• Vernon Davis gets 5 receiving yards.
• His kicker got 4 XP but no field goals.
• The Lions got a 96 yard pass play (-4) that added 8 points (-2) and then got a 54-yard field goal (-2)
• And my personal favorite, Thomas Jones gets to 161 rushing yards, before losing 2, to end with 159 and 15 points.
  

In non-Burnsy wackiness, Matt was robbed of an Orton PaTD when Desmond Clark fumbled on the 1. Matt's receiver, Rashied Davis recovered the ball in the endzone and was credited with a OFRTD, but didn't recieve any points for it.

It doesn't matter because Mark went bananas even though his 3 receivers combined for only 10. And I'm going to win even though I have 2 receivers that didn't catch any passes.
