Announcer: "It's 1st and Ten on the Wraiths own 20 yardline after the touchback. 4 minutes and 20 seconds remain on the clock. If the Liberty wish to get back into this game, they need a stop early in this drive. Both teams have all three timeouts remaining, but the Wraiths have done well with the little offense that has shown tonight. Yellowknife lines up in shotgun, trips to the right and Antonio Summer lining up in the backfield. Parker motions over, and back to the trips formation. Liberty in man coverage. Ball is snapped! Summer gets the ball and goes off tackle to the left, forced back inside and is swallowed up by Kamaka! a two, maybe three yard gain stopped quickly by the veteran lineman."
ABJ: "That's how we do it EK!!! We are stopping them right here, right now. not another yard, you here me?!"
Announcer: "Here we go on 2nd down from the 22 yard line. Wraiths now in a double wide set. Liberty are showing blitz. Pennington making some adjustments at the line, now falls back into shotgun once again."
ABJ: "Here we go. just you and me, rookie, just you and me."
Announcer: "Here's the snap. Pennington looks left, looks right, fires a pass and it is tipped away near the sideline. He had the yards for a first down, and would have picked up more if the ball had been there a half second earlier. Andre Bly Jr. did a nice job and laid out to get a hand on that ball on that comeback route."
ABJ: "LET'S GOOO!!! Next time it's mine!"
Announcer: "Alright, 3rd down now, and eight to gain. the Wraiths have struggled so far this game and are only 3/11 on third down attempts. As long as they can avoid a sack, punt the ball safely, they should have a lot of confidence in their defense to keep the liberty out of the endzone. Again, Wraiths line up in the shotgun, two to the bottom of your screen with Parker at the top. Summer motions out to the slot, leaving an empty backfield. Pennington making an quick audible, clock winding down. Pennington wasn't ready for the snap! He picks it up off the bounce, scrambles wide to the left, sets his feet, fires it over the middle... oh dropped! what would have been his first interception on the season."
ABJ: "AH! I had it. WOOOO!!! Nice Job defense! WOOO! lets get that ball back."
Announcer: "what looked like a sure catch just slipped through Andre's hands. Brad also wishes he had that one back. He thought he had Josh Parker on that deep seam route, but threw it a little short. Great idea, poor execution on his part. Now he hopes that his defense can continue to hold their ground against Reigning Rookie of the year Mason Brown, who already has 154 total yards this game and rookie Quarterback Falconi who has held her own throughout the game so far. Forfeit is set up to punt, Amper as the snapper, and Bly Jr. back for the kick. Forfeit to punt, and the punt is off. Decent hang time, Bly fields it at the 32. Makes a man miss with the help of a blocker, and is running around to the right side. Gets it out to the 35, cuts back. gets a block, at the 45, Bly cuts back to the right, makes a man miss, has room, avoids a tackler, to the 40, he has to beat the punter, AND HE'S GONE! 25, 20, 15, 10... touchdown!!! Bly JR. does it again!"
ABJ: "HAHAHA AHHHH!!! you see that?!" Andre circles around to the 20 yard line in front of the Wraiths benches, ball behind his back, and bows to the opposing team. both hands pointed to the ground: "COME. GET. ME."

Announcer: "Can you believe it? Andre Bly Jr. with a 68 yard return to take the lead for the Liberty with just over three and a half minutes remaining in the game. Let's look at this again, Bly knows his blockers are setting up blocks on the right side and has the patience there before he starts going north and south down the field. Once they are in position, he just weaves his way through them. If he can avoid the punter, he high steps his way into the endzone just like he did here. truly a remarkable play every time he gets his hands on the ball."
The Liberty would go onto win the game by a final score of 24-21, with Andre Bly Jr.'s punt return being the last score of the game.

Post Game Press Conference
Reporter: "Andrew Clayman, NSFLN. Walk us through that series right before your punt return. Was there anything from that drive that stood out and made you say 'It's time for Andre to take over'"?
ABJ: Uh, so on first down, I knew I had safety help over the top, and we had called a blitz there. I was the one that forced him back inside for Eli to get the tackle. On second down, Josh put a nice move on me, but I think the ball came out later than it should have, and I was able to get a finger on it. I looked back at Brad and he was starring right at me. I knew he was coming at me again on third down, and that is when the switch went on in my head. He is such a competitor and if he wants to prove that he can make that throw against me. If I make a play there on third, we are in the home stretch.
Reporter: "Mike Nazer, Philadelphia First News. What happened on that dropped interception late in the game?"
ABJ: Ah yea, that is on me. Like I said, I knew that ball was coming, so I had myself in position when Josh cut towards the middle of the field. I had visions of the endzone in my head and didn't look the ball into my chest. I guess that's why I don't play offense? Anyways, I guess my predictions were just a play early.
Reporter: "Rachel Johnson, Highland Sports 5. You have been in the media spotlight more this season due to your trade from Colorado and your 'declaration' of joining the Yellowknife Wraiths in the off-season. How has this affected the locker room morale, your teammates opinions of you, and does this correlate to your on-the-field actions?"
ABJ: By on-the-field actions, I am assuming you are talking about me acknowledging the Yellowknife organization after my punt return. Yes, it is known that I want to join them this upcoming off-season. This has all been discussed in the past. I'm not necessarily asking them to come get me now. I respect my current organization, the Philadelphia Liberty, and I will give them all 100% of my abilities this season. I'm still in the prime of my career, but I have set goals for myself that I must reach by the time that my career is over. Regarding the locker room situation, It was rough at first, everyone knowing that I was essentially a rental. But there is some great talent behind me, and I cant keep up with them my whole career. We got Lenny, Cob, and Lucari all doing wonders this season. Hell, some of them are putting up better stats than me right now. So, we are on good terms, but we know this thing isn't lasting forever. We are grown men. We've diplomatically taken care of the situation. That's it for tonight, I'll see y'all later this week for more of the same questions.
