It all comes down to this! Here's the Champions Bowl!

1965-66 Champions Bowl - Boston Gaels vs Philadelphia Hornets
In what was a rematch of the second ever Champions Bowl, we saw an up and coming Hornets squad square off against the reigning champs, the Gaels. Coming into the matchup the Hornets seemed like the favorites, but the Gaels quickly shut any doubters up. Boston would start the game off on offense and wouldn’t look back. They would jump to an early 3-0 lead thanks to some handy work from QB Donald McCloud. Then on defense they would step up and pick off QB Oscar Washington, returning that to make their lead 10-0. Philadelphia would successfully avenge their mistakes on their next drive though, putting a TD of their own on their board. Their defense would still get trampled however as Boston would score again a bit over halfway through the second quarter. Philadelphia would try and score before half, but would have to settle for a long field goal attempt which would be wide and short. 

The second half was a bit closer, with Philadelphia coming out of the half on a tear, putting up a big time touchdown on a miraculous 50 yard TD reception. They would then finally get a stop on defense, forcing Boston to punt. Boston though, now on the clipse of losing the lead, also got a stop of their own. Philadelphia had made their way down to the 15 before coming across a 4th down. In a perplexing move, Philly lined up to go for it before S Nick Hatfield would intercept Washington in the endzone for his second INT of the game. Many instantly criticized the team for bad play calling. The attempt to go for it wasn’t an ill fated one, but only down a field goal with a quarter left to play, it was an unnecessary risk. This mistake would prove to be monumental in the Hornets shortcomings though, as Boston would score a touchdown on the next drive, taking a lot of the fourth quarter to do so, leaving Philly only a bit of time to attempt a comeback. One that was now that bit bigger thanks to the turnover on their last drive. It wasn’t meant to be however as the Hornets would fail another 4th down attempt, coming up a yard short and turning the ball back over to Boston. A couple short runs and kneel downs later and the clock hit zero. Boston had one their second straight Champions Bowl by a score of 24-14. This was the franchises third Bowl win in total. After the game the NFA awarded RB Stevie Parks the Champions Bowl MVP. He would take it home for the second straight year. 



Here's the field, it was the first to have both colored end zones and text in the end zones.



And finally, here's the last look at the bracket:

C&C Appreciated! Congrats to Gaels fans!

Just realized the score was wrong on the graphic, I've updated the post accordingly. Expect the SFL season to be up soon!

I'm a bit late to the party, but I was kind of hoping that Philly would win the Champions' Bowl. Will there be any major changes for the Blue Ox in the offseason? I mean, watching Minnesota choke in the playoffs is like being a Cubs fan from 1909 to 2016 as you begin to feel bad for them after awhile. 

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to the SFL season! Here's hoping the New Orleans Revelers can do something this year!
