Georgia Force AFL Game

On Saturday night I was able to go to an Arena Football Game featuring the local Georgia Force team with my buddy Matt and my dad. I have had limited exposure to AFL games but have caught a few games on ESPN. The games are always high scoring and high energy and this game didn’t disappoint. The game came down to the absolute last possible play, 4th down and goal with 2 seconds on the clock. The Georgia Force were down by 6 points and miraculously were in the position to win due to a defensive interception and long return into close scoring position. They ran several plays inside the 5 yard line but were unsuccessful and had one last shot. The previous play was a quick draw off-tackle which was unsuccessful. The final play was genius, in my opinion – a naked QB bootleg to the opposite side of the field. The quarterback nearly tripped over one of his own linemen but was able to regain his balance and run untouched into the end zone. But, this only tied the game at 55 but the extra point was good with 0:00 on the clock. Georgia Force won the game and now holds their division lead with 3 games left in the regular season. Go Force!!!

Here’s the tying TD.

…and the ensuing pandemonium.
