Playoff Series MVP
In the NFC Conference Finals, the (8-6) Kansas City Coyotes traveled to the (10-4) Portland Pythons. The Coyotes would come in as the underdogs only on paper. They would leave Conference Champions. While it was entirely a team effort out there for the Coyotes this evening, one player in particular sticks out in my mind as the Playoff Series Most Valuable Player...and that player is none other than Kansas City Quarterback, Mark Strike. Strike showed absolute poise in the pocket delivering strikes to both sides of the field and at different levels, including an absolutely beautiful forty yard bomb to Howard in the third quarter. As if delivering through the air wasn’t enough, Strike put the team on his back and also ran for 26 Yards and one touchdown on the ground. His one blemish came in the fourth quarter when he delivered a duck that was picked off, but other than that, he played a damn good football game, in a moment when you need your quarterback to play his best. He may not have had the yardage you look for a QB to have, but when you play good through the air and ground as he did, it wasnt needed. This game will go down in Coyote history, but look for Strikes impressive playoff campaign to continue in the championship game later this week against the San Antonio Marshals.

Championship Recap
In the Ultimini game, the underdog Kansas City Coyotes found themselves in a great position to win the championship game against the San Antonio Marshals, but as quickly as things were going good for the Coyotes, the bad came just as quick. Leading 13-6 at halftime, the Coyotes would not not see their lead squandered away, but would also fail to score another point in the game, sealing their fate, and going home empty handed. One of the biggest plays for the Marshals could arguably be Quarterback Michael Vick’s one yard scamper in the fourth quarter to put the Marshals on top for the first time in the game, but I believe there were no bigger plays than the one Marshals runningback, Willy Nyquist pulled off. With 4:12 remaining in the game, and both teams engaged in a tight game, the back took the handoff, took one step forward, and that’s all he needed as he scampered eighty yards to pay dirt to put the Marshals up 23-13, a score that would hold as the Marshals would go in to hoist the Ulitmini Championship trophy. The Coyotes certainly let the Marshals off the hook in this one and will be haunted the entire offseason.
