Next on the schedule for the 10-time DSFL Champion Tijuana Luchadores was a Thursday night double-header. Starting with a Week 6 home game against the Bondi Beach Buccaneers where the Luchadores ended up winning a close one 23-21 on a game-winning field goal.
The Luchador defense started out hot with an interception by CB Thigpen during the Buccaneers’ first drive. The Luchadores would also secure another interception by CB Ramsey late in the third quarter deep in the Buccaneers’ territory to set up a goal-to-go 4-yard touchdown run by RB Washington the III. The Luchador defense would prove to be suffocating elsewhere with five total sacks anchored by a magnificent game from LB Outlaw who had one of those sacks to go with a forced fumble and nine tackles. A big shoutout to the new player on defense for the Luchadores, DT Bigguns, who held his own in his first ever game with three tackles while routinely clogging up the middle.
The Luchador offense was rock steady behind the arm of QB Breezy Jr. who threw for 221 yards and a touchdown while completing 70+% of his throws. Of course, the heart of the Luchador offense lies in the stable of versatile running backs who combined for 103 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Although it was WR Bessey who led the charge with 146 all-purpose yards and a touchdown, highlighted by a monster 58-yard catch-and-run with under a minute to go in the fourth quarter to set up the game-winning field goal… DAGGER!
Drop that Swizz Beatz because as Jay-Z would say, “On to the Next One”.
Week 7 brought another home game for the Luchadores against the Kansas City Coyotes who just came off a loss where they failed to score a single point. Unfortunately for the Coyotes, they would experience another lopsided loss at the hands of the Luchadores.
The Luchador defense would stifle the Coyotes offense from start to finish by keeping the opposing QB under a 52% pass completion and stuffing their RBs to a measly 3.2 yards per carry. The Luchadores would have another five-sack day, two of which came from LB Ennair who was playing with his hair on fire. Another noteworthy mention is DT Amaru II who wrecked the gameplan for the Coyotes by racking up two four TFLs and one sack.
However, the Luchador offense would be the pacesetter in this matchup rushing for a total of 238 yards and two touchdowns wherein all four running backs had at least 54 rushing yards each. Yet, the Luchador receivers would not be outdone to the tune of 196 yards led by the outstanding wide receiver rookie tandem of WR Patter and WR Benn, the latter of which had two touchdowns; one being a nasty crossover -WHOOP!- against the Coyote rookie CB Wevis and Benn took it 44-yards to the house.
So just like that, the Tijuana Luchadores are on top of the standings with a league-leading 6-1 record heading into Week 8 against the D***** Birddogs.
