There it is, folks, what some us saw coming as we entered the playoffs, Don’t Mess With the Zoquon was on another plane of existence this season, and was more dominant in the post-season than any the IFL has ever seen. The Scallon Express mustered up an admirable 133.39 points, thanks to a signature Christian McCaffrey 30-deuce, but following up on his all-time IFL scoring performance in the semi’s with 214.38 points, TC grabs the 2nd-highest score in IFL history as well with 206.89 points, dominating our 2019 IFL Superbowl.
The Superbowl MVP? TC’s #1 draft pick and namesake Saquon Barkley, whose return from a high ankle sprain was a gradual return to form, and he finally broke loose for a 45.4 point performance.
Lamar’s 33.3 points was enough to grab him the scoring crown for the season, who entered the week tied with CMC, but also make him the highest scoring player in the IFL’s six years of existence, averaging 29.5 PPG on the season. Drafted in the 8th round, that is some genius that only TC saw coming, and that is a huge part of his success for the season. CMC, shy just 3 points from Lamar, is the 2nd highest scoring player of all-time.
Looking at TC’s draft, he had no horrible busts. Diggs was taken with the last pick in the 2nd round, as the 12th WR, and he had a slow start to the season, but finished WR18. Kittle, despite being hurt and missing two games finished TE4. Miles Sanders was the 30th RB taken, and finished 15th. Besides Lamar, Ekeler was one of his best picks, taken in the 5th round as the 31st RB, he finished as RB5, despite Melvin Gordon returning in Week 5. God knows what TC’s PPG for the season would have looked like had Saquon not missed 3.5 games.
TC’s boys started firing on all cylinders in Week 11, and never scored less than 134 points after that, and the rest of the league couldn’t have messed with the Zoquon even if we tried. That’s a wrap on 2019, gentlemen. See you in the next decade.

TOURNAMENT TO NOT BE LAST
Looks like our LotY, Curtis is headed toward a 5K humilation:
Run a 5K in a taco costume, must eat three crunchy tacos supreme at 1st mile marker, two crunchy tacos supreme at 2nd mile marker, and one crunchy tacos supreme at 3rd mile marker. League Taco participant can only drink Mountain Dew Baja Blast to wash down his shame.
Despite the LotY embarrassment, Curtis clutches it out in the last week of the season and climbs back on top, edging out Drew’s big week by 1 point. Congrats to our 2019 Pick ‘Em Champ!
Happy holidays!
