BAFC came into the weekend as the league's only remaining unbeaten team and was in position to move to 6-0 until late in the second half. Ballard scored two touchdowns in the final 1:42 as 8OKI moved to 3-3 on the season in come-from-behind fashion.

8OKI stayed in the game by utilizing the FCF's unique comeback rule. The team purposely missed extra points in order to stay behind and activate the rule, which gives it one shot at converting a 10-yard play to maintain possession.

Likewise, the SB Stars got back on the winning path with a 34-16 victory over the Beasts. The Stars were dominant in the second half, shutting out the Beasts after going into halftime with a 20-16 lead.

Among the Stars' many scores was a big guy touchdown.
