It’s fine that we lost to the Poverty Wings, as long as we beat them at home.

A renewal of the Tigers-Raiders rivalry was on hand for Thursday Night Football. 
The Tigers started the game well with the first score, but then the Raiders came roaring back with the next two scores, which was helped by a LB William Washington II forced fumble.
The teams would trade field goals in a much slower 2nd quarter, with the Raiders then adding to the lead in the 3rd. 
The Tigers would climb back into the game in the 3rd, scoring two touchdowns in the last two quarters to finally take the lead 24-23. 
After the Tigers got a single, the Raiders would take back the lead on a field goal late in the 4th.
QB Henry Johnsson was now in a position to make the big save at the end of the game, however, his pass attempt to WR Cole Fletcher would be slightly behind the WRs allowing LB Callum Owen to nab the crucial interception which would be returned to the house for a touchdown to secure the win for the Raiders.

FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Halifax Mariners - 15 @ Indiana Victors - 22 - Victory Stadium - August 11, 1972 - 7:00 PM ET (Game Delayed to 8:00 PM ET Due to Thunderstorm) - Weather: Rain - Attendance: 39,079

After the hour-long delay due to thunderstorms, the Victors and Mariners would take the field with the Victors making the switch back to QB Tom Applewhite as the starting QB after Matt Fletcher started the last two games. 
The wet weather would affect the first half with both teams struggling to get much offence going. 
Halifax would get the first major score of the game with a WR Shane Steadman touchdown, while the Victors slowly added points until finally reaching the endzone with RB Daniel Collins’ first career touchdown.
Another slow 3rd quarter would lead to an 8-14 game heading into the 4th, where Halifax would finally regain the lead on a touchdown rush from RB George Seahorse.
The Victors were able to tie the game on a single with 5 minutes to go.
Both teams would trade drives until Applewhite would come through with the game-winning touchdown pass to WR Jake Abbredezzi to capture the team’s first win since week 1 against Calgary.

14-14: TOR - 2PT QB Landon Ross -> WR Cameron Kane
4th Q
21-14: BOS - PTD QB Nathaniel Braddock -> WR Tyreek Flores

Boston would look to build off of their recent success despite the plethora of injuries that are piling up.
They would get an early lead, but Toronto was able to stick around with the Independents into the 4th.
However, QB Nathaniel Braddock was able to beat the solid Steelheads' defence and the game-winning score to get back to .500 on the season.

The Royals and Blacksmiths would meet for the first time since 1968 for Saturday Night Football.
Pittsburgh got out to a 0-10 lead after DL Arthur Bradshaw was able to punch the ball out RB Corbyn Knight’s arms to set up a RB Max Tracy touchdown.
Knight would rebound with a touchdown on the ensuing drive before the Royals would take the lead to start the 2nd, but once again Pittsburgh’s offence went to work, scoring another 14 before halftime.
The Royals would only be able to make up 3 points by the end of the 3rd, with Tracy finding the endzone for a 3rd time in the game. 
However, QB Drake Young didn’t let up and was able to lead the Royals in the comeback to tie the game in the 4th at 34. 
QB Louis Vaughn would have too much time left in the game following the game-tying field goal and would be able to lead the Blacksmiths down the field to answer back and secure a huge win over the Royals.

Montreal Rouge - 15 @ Buffalo Blue Wings - 20 - Milton Charles Stadium - August 13, 1972 - 1:00 PM ET - Weather: Cloudy/Fog - Attendance: 53,871

12-13: MTL - FG K Buster McDooley
15-13: MTL - FG K Buster McDooley
15-20: BUF - PTD QB Charles Lemieux -> WR Tracy Driscoll

The banged-up Blue Wings would welcome the Rouge in a classic NAAF matchup.
Montreal’s offence was overall pretty consistent throughout the game, being able to get past the injured Blue Wings’ defence effectively, but QB Nathan Houle struggled to finish drives leading to the team scoring 5 field goals in the game.
It would be enough to take a lead in the 4th, but the inability to capitalize with more points allowed QB Charles Lemieux to do what he does best and lead a late-game scoring drive to secure Buffalo’s 5th win of the season. 

Louisville Thunder - 20 @ Providence Gold Stars - 30 - New Providence Stadium - August 13, 1972 - 4:30 PM ET - Weather: Partly Cloudy - Attendance: 62,787

20-20: LOU - PTD QB Buck Murphy -> WR Casey Coleman
20-23: PRO - FG K Gilbert O’Neill
20-30: PRO - DTD INT DB Neville Falkner

Two division leaders would square off with the unbeaten Gold Stars welcoming the Thunder, Louisville was hoping to end Providence’s unbeaten campaign for the second year in a row.
It would be a close contest in the first half with the teams knotted up at 10, but Providence would start to slip away in the 3rd.
However, Providence’s secondary would become vulnerable with both S Tom Parrish and S Paul Christopher would leave the game early allowing WR Casey Coleman to find the endzone to tie the game.
After the Gold Stars regained the lead, it would be DB Neville Falkner who would step up late in the game, intercepting a QB Buck Murphy pass to put the game out of range and keep the Gold Stars’ perfect record intact.

Calgary rolled into Friday Night Football riding a 2-game win streak, while Toronto hoped to end a 4-game skid.
The teams would leave the 1st tied at 3, but Calgary’s offence started to roll in the 2nd, scoring a touchdown to take the lead into halftime.
Calgary continued to build on the lead with QB Emmitt Jackson hitting WR Ted Jackson while evading a collapsing pocket, before then adding another touchdown in the early stages of the 4th. 
Toronto’s offence was left looking for many answers, only scoring 6 points heading into the final frame.
QB David Simmons would check into the game and would get the team into the endzone to make the score look a little better, while Calgary held on for their 3rd straight win.

Buffalo Blue Wings - 15 @ Minnesota Serpents - 33 - Midgard Stadium - August 19, 1972 - 2:00 PM ET/1:00 PM CT - Weather: Partly Cloudy/Hot - Attendance: 48,972

15-30: MIN - FG K Ray Bough
15-33: MIN - FG K Ray Bough

The Serpents would defend their unbeaten record against the Blue Wings on a scorching afternoon in Minneapolis.
The heat did not slow RB Tyler Kuhn down who rushed for a pair of touchdowns and 102 yards against the banged-up Blue Wings’ defence.
Buffalo’s offence was able to get an early touchdown but fell silent until finally getting back in the endzone in the 4th, but it was far too late as Minnesota would cruise the rest of the way to their 8th win of the season.

Pittsburgh Blacksmiths - 19 @ Edmonton Rangers - 6 - Forest Heights Park - August 19, 1972 - 5:00 PM ET/3:00 PM MT - Weather: Partly Cloudy - Attendance: 28,375

14-6: EDM - FG K Thomas Standberry
17-6: PIT - FG K Nigel Stewart
4th Q
19-6: PIT - Safety DL Matthias Hartmann

Pittsburgh’s offence had a little more trouble than expected against the Rangers, only getting 17 points on the board, but the defence played one of their best games of the season keeping the Rangers to only 6 points and adding 2 themselves.
QB Michael Benedict made his second straight start and was struggling to pick up 1st downs all day, causing many 2-and-outs.
Edmonton’s defence managed to hold up despite the significant difference in time of possession between the teams with Pittsburgh having the ball a lot more than Edmonton.
Either way, Pittsburgh gets their 4th straight win to get above .500 for the first time this season.

Vancouver Wolves - 23 @ Louisville Thunder - 32 - Thunder Stadium - August 19, 1972 - 8:00 PM ET - Weather: Cloudy - Attendance: 44,690

23-32: LOU - FG K Rhys Kupp

Louisville looked to rebound from the loss to Providence while Vancouver hoped to keep the Serpents within a reasonable distance at the top of the West.
Both teams scored early with a pair of touchdowns, RB Robert Jack scoring as the starter for the Thunder who were without RB Neil Bradley.
The Thunder built off of the score with the next 10 points, but a late score from a returning WR Akira Sakamoto would keep the Wolves within 3 heading into halftime.
The 3rd would see the teams trade field goals, but a fumble from QB Kevin Westwood would allow the Thunder to take a 9-point lead into the 4th off of Jack’s second touchdown of the game.
Vancouver was able to cut the lead down to 6 in the 4th on a WR Keshawn Johnston touchdown, but they would be unable to get more points before a K Rhys Kupp field goal would put the game out of reach.

10-24: WPG - PTD QB Emerson Thompson -> TE Douglas Northway

The Tigers would bounce back from the loss to the Raiders in a strong win over the lowly Falcons.
RB Jeremy Royal was especially impressive with a pair of touchdowns while torching the Falcons’ defence. 
Winnipeg did start QB Emerson Thompson for the 2nd consecutive game. Still, he struggled against the solid Tigers defence, only able to score a late touchdown on TE Douglas Northway’s 1st of his career.

A high-scoring affair in Regina would close out the week with QB Stanley Evans and the Wheat Kings’ offence having their best performance of the season.
WR Leonard Green scored a touchdown against his former team in the Victors, which allowed the Wheat Kings to tie the game and eventually take a late lead.
QB Tom Applewhite started once again for the Victors and was the hero once again with a game-winning toss to WR Jake Abbredezzi, despite his defence letting him down overall with many costly mistakes.
Ultimately, Indiana walked away with a 2nd straight win while the fans at Broad Street Stadium were treated to a fun game.
