When the Wraiths brought in the visiting Hawks for the NSFC Championship, it was obvious that the team was gonna have to play at its best to win. Well, there was one player that went above and beyond, putting the team on his back. Mat Akselsen played his heart out for four quarters and willed the Wraiths to a victory, bringing them back to the promised land. His final stat line shows the kind of game he played that day. 28 completions on 45 attempts for 485 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. His completion percentage wasn't the best at 62% but that's because he was absolutely bombing the ball down the field. Those 486 yards were impressive in that three of his receivers averaged over 20 yards per catch. Those stats also came together for an absolutely gaudy 10.8 yards per attempt. However, he was also accurate and careful with the ball when he needed to be. No interceptions and two of his touchdowns were in the red zone when they were only eight yards out.
Akselsen had it all going on today. He was ballsy, pushing the ball down the field, but in control, protecting the ball and carving the secondary up with some short chain movers.
Playoff Review: Write a short review of the playoffs and each of the matchups. Must be completed after the Championship Game
The playoffs started with another brand new matchup to the NSFC, they've had a different one every year of the five-year lifespan of the league. The Wraiths hosted the Hawks in a close matchup of foes that split the regular season series. This game was a passing affair as there was 849 yards through the air in total. Alexander LeClair and Owen Taylor were dominant with eight catches and over 100 yards each. However, their counterparts on the Wraiths did them one better, with Cook, Jarden, and Law all gaining over 100 yards and Cook and Law scoring touchdowns. The Wraiths won the NSFC Championship 37 - 21.
The ASFC was the classic matchup between the Otters and Outlaws, but this time with a twist, the Otters were hosting the big game. It was definitely not needed though as the Otters simply crushed the Outlaws 43-19. Boss and his receivers put on a clinic. Boss completed 66% of his passes for 366 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no interceptions. He was scalpel sharp and shredded the Outlaws pass defense en route to his second Ultimus birth.
The Ultimus was a rematch of the S4 game that ended in jubilation for the Otters and heartbreak for the Wraiths. Would S5 be different? The game was an ugly affair on both sides, a total of six turnovers between the two teams. Boss threw two interceptions for the Otters, Akselsen threw three interceptions and lost a fumble on a twenty-yard scramble. That was the difference in the game as the Otters again won the Ultimus, defeating the Wraiths 26-15.

Well this isn't the best play of the game, but the most key moment from the Ultimus I would say. The moment where you knew the Otters were gonna win their second in a row.
The first half ended with fireworks, but only for one side. The Otters were leading the game 13-6 and it was the end of the 2nd quarter. Boss was driving his team down the field, all the way to the Yellow Knife 12 yard line when he threw an interception. Redemption! This was the break the Wraiths needed. With 2:27 left Akselsen tried to get the Wraiths downfield for at least a field goal to bring the game a little closer. Two penalties and a dropped pass later the Wraiths were forced to punt the ball away. At least they stopped the Otters from scoring. Well, with 1:36 left Westfield made an 18-yard return and it seemed inevitable with only 1:36 left the Otters would score again. However, the Wraiths managed to hold them to a field goal. With 57 seconds left the Wraiths came back on to the field to try and score a quick one or at least run out the clock, Akselsen immediately throws a pick giving the Otters the ball at the 18 yard line and another easy field goal for Madlad. The Wraiths get the ball back again with 28 seconds left in the half clearly looking to just limp into the locker room, but to add insult to injury the coach calls a pass, Akselsen is sacked, they call a timeout, and then Akselsen throws an interception that was almost housed.
That was the point when you knew it wasn't getting any better for the Wraiths.
