USER NOTES --------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a picture-perfect day in Lima Peru for Mega Bowl XXIII. New York entered the game looking for their 5th title in 9 appearances, the first title since season season 12, and their first appearance since season 17. Kolkata came in looking for their first world title, in just their second ever berth, the last coming back in season 18 when the franchise still played in Greenland. The fans were buzzing for the matchup between the league's MVP/Offensive MVP in Joe McMillan and the league's defensive MVP, Jonas Lidary. Gary Reed appearing in his first Mega Bowl also caused quite the stir. With that, we kick off! It took just 5 plays for the vaunted Kolkata defense to get a stop and give the offense their first crack at things. It was a solid drive until it stalled out at the New York 40 and the Silver Falcons played conservatively, opting to punt. The teams would trade punts one more time as the feeling out process continued. Finally, with 2:30 left in the first, the dam broke as 13-year linebacker Chris Payton jumped a Demetrice Sanders slant route, interccepting the ball and taking it back 64 yards for the pick-six, making it 7-0 Kolkata! That score would hold at the end of one. The teams would trade turnovers at the start of the second. Brett McCarty picked off Joe McMillan, only for Gary Reed to fumble the ball right back to Pop Wolarsson 2 plays later. The New York offense would finally click, as McMillan his Sanders on a 65-yard pass play with 15 more tacked on with a facemask at the end. Curt Mith would then go untouched up the middle for 8 yards and a score to tie the game at 7-7. New York would get the ball back and see an 11-play, 50-yard drive stall out with a Brian Smack 42-yard field goal, giving New York the lead for the first time in this game. Disaster would strike for Kolkata on the very next play after Jonas Lidary tried to make a play, fielding the kickoff in his own endzone, getting hit, and fumbling the ball back to New York. The Kolkata defense would hold firm, limiting New York to a 36-yard field goal, increasing the lead to 13-7. 5 minutes later disaster would strike for New York, as Joe McMillan would get sacked by Brett McCarty, injuring his right knee, and knocking him out of the game. The Mega Bowl now fell on the shoulders of Bernie Elivics. Our score at halftime was 13-7 New York. Looking at the halftime stats, New York out-yardaged Kolkata, 210-123. Joe McMillan was 15/27 for 166 yards and 2 INTs, but was out for the second half. Bernie Elivics was just 0/1 in the first half. For Kolkata, Charlie Grison was 7/15 for 82 yards and an interception. Gary Reed had just 4 touches for 18 yards, owing that to quite a few long-yardage situations Kolkata found themselves in. On to the second half. Could Bernie Elivics lead this team? With 8:45 left to play in the 3rd quarter, it was the other QB making some news, as Charlie Grison injured HIS knee on a running play, and he was marked doubtful to return in this one. That gave the reigns to former New York Lightning QB Arial Goines. Goines would immediately cap off a 9-play 83-yard drive with a 3 yard TD pass to James Browler, as Kolkata re-took the lead, 14-13. After a Bernie Elivics interception gave Kolkata a short field, the Silver Falcons would tack on a 26-yard field goal to extend the lead to 17-13. That would be the score at the end of the third quarter. How had the ne QBs fared in the 3rd? Elivics was 3/12 for 50 yards and an INT, while Goines was 1/3 for 3 yards and a score. To the 4th we would go... ...and it would start with some controversy. On a 4th and 2 at the Kolkata 39, New York head coach Jeff Carson opted not to roll the dice and punted it. Kolkata would respond by marching the ball downfield and attempting a 54-yard field goal, only to see it blocked by rookie Jonathan Ketchersid. New York would take over at their own 44 with 8:45 to play. The odd play-calling would continue, as New York went with a Jet Sweep at the Kolkata 3-yard line, failing spectacularly and resuluting in a field goal. 17-16 Kolkata with under 6 minutes to play. Sam Rini had a huge interception at the 4:45 mark, giving New York another short field at their own 44-yard line, needing perhaps just a field goal to win it... With that, Bernie Elivics would go to work engineering a 9-play 56-yard drive that saw him hit Dick Granthem 3 times, including a MASSIVE 4-yard touchdown pass to the back right corner of the end zone to re-take the lead. They would then complete a 2-point pass to Demetrice Sanders to make it 24-17 New York with 1:45 to play. Elivics on that drive was 6-of-7, and he had matched the yardage output that Joe McMillan had prior to his injury, as both players had 166 yards passing. Last gasp for Kolkata, down 7 with 1:45 to play... it would come down to a 4th and 4, but Sam Rini would knock the ball away from Keven Leveto, sealing the win for New York! 24-17! The New York Lightning are Mega Bowl XXIII champions!!! The MVP of this game was Bernie Elivics, who finished the game 12/23 for 166 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT, but it was his play on the game-winning drive that sealed the deal. What a gutsy performance, and what a way to end season 23!
