Bottom Third
The Baltimore Hawks were absolutely atrocious this season. They ended the season with a 4-10 record and missed out on a playoff berth. A strong preseason had many people thinking that the Hawks would be a shoe-in for the playoffs. That was not the case though as the Hawks performed terribly on every level, especially on defense. They allowed 330 points through 14 games which was by far the worst points allowed in the league. One of the main problems the team had was creating pressure on the quarterback. They were in last place in terms of sacks with 36. The next best was the San Jose Sabercats, who was 4-10 also, with 56 sacks. On offense, the Baltimore Hawks were very middling at most. This was due to a terrible run game which can completely break down an offense. They were the worst rushing team in the league. They were last in rushing yards and yards per carry with 1369 and 3.4, respectively. They managed to end 3rd place in the points scored with 254. This at least shows that the Hawks did some things right and that they have something to build off of for next season. The Baltimore Hawks had a middle of the road offense and a horrific defense and that is definitely not the makings of a good team
Offensive Comparison: Tim Pest vs Bender Rodriguez
In the inaugural championship game, people will be looking at the defenses in the game, but you can't win 0-0. So now you need offense and but the offense can't move without an offensive line. So for the inaugural Ultimus trophy, the Arizona Outlaws vs the Colorado Yeti will come down to the trenches. With sack and tackle artists on both teams, the line will be the players to watch in the game. The entire game will be reliant on Tim Pest vs Bender Rodriguez. These two players are the pseudo-leaders for their teams' respective lines. Both had great seasons this year. Bender Rodriguez picked up 57 pancakes this year to help the Yeti have a good, consistent offense. Tim Pest was a waiver pickup for the Outlaws and he managed to get 41 pancakes this year. What Bender has in consistently good play, Tim has in dynamic play. Bender Rodriguez only gave up 6 sacks this and Tim Pest gave up 12. Both are great run blockers and good pass blockers but I have to give the edge to Bender Rodriguez due to experience but Tim Pest has unlimited potential. Games are won in the trenches and Bender Rodriguez and Tim Pest are looking to lead their team to victory
Defensive Comparison: Phillipe Carter vs Myran Jackson
Myran Jackson vs Phillipe Carter. The 6th overall pick vs the 3rd. Safety vs Cornerback. They were the first two defensive backs taken in the 1st ever NSFL draft. Myran Jackson was on the best team in ASFC. Phillipe Carter was on the best team in NSFC. They will meet on Monday to see who will host up the inaugural Ultimus Trophy. Before the regular season, they were expected to be great players on bottom dweller teams. During the regular season, they had similar statistics as there was only one tackle that separated Carter and Jackson with 56 and 55 respectively. When the season ended it became clear that Phillipe Carter was the better player; he had 4 interceptions while Jackson did not get a single pick. They were on the two best teams in the league and again performed similarly in their respective playoff games. The Colorado Yeti and the Arizona Outlaws had some of the best defense in the league; Jackson and Carter were the leaders of those teams. With one last game in the season, both players are looking to prove they deserve their high selections in the draft and that they are better than the other. I imagine this season was only a glimpse of one of the great rivalries to come.

Playoff MVP: Vinny Cox
The Colorado Yeti shocked many when they made it not only to the playoffs but all the way to the championship game. Even though the Yeti preaches a team atmosphere, one guy deserves all of the credit for their amazing playoff run. That player is Vinny Cox. Cox had a great regular season and he will be a pro-bowler. In the playoffs, he was even better and was unquestionably their playoff leader. In the first playoff game against the Wraiths, the Yeti defense held the players of Yellowknife without a touchdown. In that game, Cox recorded 5 tackles, a tackle for loss, and a sack. This performance helped the Yeti win against the Wraiths 13-6. In the Championship game, Vinny Cox once again had an outstanding defensive performance against the Arizona Outlaws. He racked up 6 tackles, 3 sacks, and a tackle for loss. One of those sacks was a game changer for the defense. They only gave up 7 points after Cox made that play. Unfortunately, Vinny Cox’s performance was not enough because the Yeti lost 29-6. Vinny Cox’s play showed that he is an unquestionable leader for the Colorado Yeti and he was their playoff MVP for this season. After a performance like that, it not surprising at all that the Yeti gave him a contract extension.
