The Most Valuable Player of the Erie County Otters versus the New Orleans Second line was undoubtedly Borkus Maximus III. Maximus didn't have the best game of his career, but showed up when and where he needed to. Maximus threw for 236 yards and a single touchdown, but that's all it would take. He was 26 of 46 through the air, and connected with 7 different pass catchers. The of with the most impact was of course the one thrown to Darren Smallwood for the go ahead and eventual game winning touchdown.

But Maximus wasn't just good in the air, he also showed his ground game off a bit. He rushed seven times, for 44 yards. His longest was longer than his running back Smallwood's longest run, and had a better average on the ground with 6.3 yards per attempt.

He also converted a 4th and 7 with just 26 seconds remaining in the half to give the Second Line a shot at another score. While that didn't pan out, it did keep the ball away from the Otters for the rest of the half.

Maximus played a good game, better than anyone else on the field. He wins the MVP for the game and series.

Championship Game Recap: Do a recap of the best play from the championship game. Must be completed after the Championship Game

The Championship game between the New Orleans Second like and the Baltimore Hawks was a doozy. This game had everything you could want, and really showed what NSFL football is all about.

New Orleans came out to a big 10 to zero lead, but the Hawks wouldn't give up easily. They scored a touchdown just 2 and a half minutes after New Orleans did to bring the game within three. New Orleans would score a quick touchdown in the second quarter, but would be answered by THREE field goals by Turk Turkleton, bringing the Hawks within a single point.

Turkleton wasn't done there. He put up another field goal in the third, and another in the fourth quarter. While Trey Willie and Avon Blocksdale did help by finally giving the Hawks another touchdown, it was closed out by the last field goal.

Maximus put up another valiant effort with three touchdown passes, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Hawks. The Second Line had a difficult time converting on third down, and penalties definitely played a part in their loss, with 5 flags for 45 total yards.

While both teams played hard, it was definitely the Hawks night. Congratulations on the Ultimus trophy Baltimore!

Unsung Hero:Who was the unsung hero of the playoffs, convince us. (Can be completed after the Ultimus game)

The underdog of this entire NSFL playoffs was undoubtedly Turk Turkleton. MVPs are always awarded to the quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs, but Turkleton put this team on his back and they rode him to this Ultimus trophy.

Turkleton carried a good share of the load when the Baltimore Hawks took on the Colorado Yeti. He made four extra points, and made good on three of four field goals. He nailed one from 28 yards, on from 39 yards and his longest at 41 yards. He did miss another 41 yarder, but accounted for 13 of the Hakws 37 points. Oddly, Avon Blocksdale was named the Offensive Player of the game, simply for throwing 2 touchdowns.

Turkleton also carried the team in the championship game. In winning this game 29 to 23, Turkleton accounted for 17 of the team's 29 points. He knocked home 5 field goals. His first from 29 yards, his second from 20, his third from 28, his fourth from 40 and his last from 33 yards away.

While Borkus Maximus III got the nod as the Offensive Player of the Game, it truly belongs to Turkleton. Without him and his clutch foot, the game looks very different as the Hawks could not make trips inside the 30 yard line count for very much.
