Mat Akselsen faced off against his former team and had an excellent performance as the San Jose Sabercats stunned the Yellowknife Wraiths in week 11. Akselsen threw for 4 touchdowns as the team won, with 3 of them going to Kazimir Oles, and the final one going to Xavier Flash. The old veteran connected with the young talent the team has stocked up on many times, and they were able to score 42 points in total as Akselsen commanded the offense effortlessly against his former team. Before being traded in his retirement season, Akselsen was a mainstay of the Wraiths offense throughout his time there, first as an offensive lineman and then when he made the switch to be the team's quarterback after Chris Orosz went to the Sabercats. Akselsen was able to lead the Wraiths to an Ultimus victory during his time in Yellowknife, and had multiple fantastic seasons as the league's premier mobile quarterback. The mobile QB has been considered to be the bar for all future mobile QBs, after he's had multiple fantastic seasons as a dynamic playmaker not only throwing the ball to his WRs but also running the ball and opening up holes in the defense. He was able to shred defenses in any way possible, and that's what made him a legend, both in Yellowknife and in the NSFL. (225 words)

Week 11 saw a very tense matchup between Mat Akselsen, formerly of the Yellowknife Wraiths, and Brad Pennington, formerly of San Jose. The combined reunions, held in San Jose, were handled very differently. Pennington was subjected to boos from the home crowd, as it was heavily rumored that he demanded to be traded away, and was jeered whenever his offense was on the field. As for Akselsen, there was no ceremony or anything for the 2023 Ultimus Champion, but there was a friendly reunion with some former teammates. As for the game itself, Pennington came out with something to prove, passing for 466 yards, a new personal high (surpassing his previous mark of 324), but his old defense knew his tendencies a little too well, picking him off 4 times, only the 3rd time he’s hit that mark. As for Akselsen, he had a fairly limited game in terms of plays called, with only 29 attempts, but that was enough to rack up 288 yards and 4 touchdowns. The veteran QB also showed he had gas in the tank with 6 rushes for 25 yards and another touchdown. He set a single-game performance of 10.73 total adjusted net yards per attempt, the 3rd best game of his career.

We are going to go back to week 7 which featured one of the hottest match ups of this season. The Baltimore Hawks, who are favored to win the NSFC, traveled to New Orleans to take on the New Orleans Second Line, who are favored to win the ASFC.
This match up featured Baltimore facing off against their old WR Alexandre LeClair. Who moved to New Orleans after last season in which Baltimore lost against the Second Line in the Cup finals.
In a comfortable 38 - 12 win for the Second Line, we saw LeClair having 5 receptions, with which he ran for 105 yards, with 37 yards being his longest and saw him score one touch down to put the Second Line up ahead again after being down 7-9.
Due to the very competetive nature of this game likely being a huge part deciding who has home field advantage running all the way through the season 10 playoffs and ofcourse the cup final of last season, there was a lot of tention between the two teams.
LeClair and the baltimore team did take a moment to get together and catch up and reminisce about the old times. They ended with a group picture and then headed back to the warming up.
Week 14 will feature the second game between these two in Baltimore. Which is expected to be a high stakes game.

Friday night was an extremely special night for Colorado Yeti fans, and that's not just because their game versus the Yellowknife Wraiths determined if their playoff dreams would come true. Former Yeti mainstay running back and now Yellowknife Wraith linebacker Boss Tweed announced earlier in the season that he was retiring at the end of the year, and Yeti fans everywhere were looking forward to watching the fan favorite play in Denver one last time.
After the teams took the field, the stadium jumbotron turned to a highlight reel of Tweed's best moments in Colorado, ranging from his appearance in the first ever Ultimus Bowl to carrying the terrible Yeti a few years later on his back. Tweed's number was retired, and a banner was unveiled with his jersey hanging from the upper deck, forever memorializing him in the team's history.
With all the love to go around, the Yeti still had a job to do and they did it. Despite the Wraiths' best efforts (and an almost-game-tying drive at the very end), the Yeti escaped with a 7 point win in one of the most exciting games of the season. Boss Tweed was showing his age, as the former linebacker of the year posted only two tackles and two pass defenses. Despite effectively ending his career without a final playoff run, Yeti players and fans all congratulated Tweed as he left the Colorado field for the last time as an NSFL player.
