Drew Brees broke an NFL record for yards in a season Monday night. But the important numbers, at least to Jimmy O, were the 31 points he posted that helped erase a 17 point Blizzard lead as the Holes won the 31st Hughes Bowl, 88-80.
With Matt Bryant kicking in a dozen the Holes were able to pass the Bliz during the third quarter of the Saints-Falcons contest and maintained a slim lead until Brees’ last TD pass late in the fourth. That toss put the game out of reach for the Bliz who got 15 from Julio Jones and were thus able to stay within shouting distance of the Holes for most of the game.
Congrats to Jimmy for his second Hughes League Championship. He had the best season record and the high points average as well. Quite a season I’d say. Nicely done.
Later this week I’ll update this page with more details, MVP voting results and notes on refreshed league spreadsheets and much more.
EDIT (Dec 27 @ 2:30)… Except for the Team v. Team spreadsheet I have updated all the numbers that are listed in the ‘Links’ section of the league site. Team Profiles are up to date as well. The ‘rule book’ is in the process of being changed to conform with next season’s revisions. The special championship Hughes News edition is being worked on and I’ll send it as a file later this week.
Let me know if you find an error or if you have a suggestion. I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. Go Texans!!!
