Tier 2
6) The playoffs have finally arrived. Choose one playoff team that is not your own from either league and recount how they got here in 400 words or more. What challenges and hurdles did they face in the regular season? Did they cruise into home field advantage or have to fight off contenders for the wild card? Are they led by MVP players on offense, or is a stifling defense the engine to their success? Don’t be afraid to go deep.
I want to talk about the Kansas City Coyotes, who had a great season. After finishing with the worst record last season, the Coyotes really turned their team around this year. They did a great job in the draft and got some high earning players like Defensive End Asher Montain, Wide Receiver Joshua Campbell or Linebacker Brach Thomaslacher. The draft shows that the Coyotes looked to improve both sides of the ball. In the preseason Kansas City lost 3 out of their 4 games with a devastating 50-3 loss in Myrtle Beach, which made the team concerned about having another difficult season. However, in the season opener, KC showed what they're capable of and defeated the London Royals, before losing in Norfolk. Week 3 had their revenge against MB at home, where the Coyotes showed that they learned from their preseason game and really improved. After a decisive win in Tijuana, the Coyotes were 3-1 after their first four games with the other teams in the division struggling and KC looked to be on a good way clinching a playoff spot and homefield advantage in the championship game.
In the next 3 games, the Coyotes lost at home versus Dallas and in Portland while winning against division rival Minnesota in Kansas City, which still had them on top of the division with a record of 4-3 after the first half of the season. The Coyotes had a great start in the second half of the season stealing a surprising win from London and also winning two more games versus Norfolk and at Myrtle Beach, which put them at 7-3 and made a playoff appearance pretty likely. They also were in a pretty good spot to secure home field avantage for the championship game. However, KC somehow seemed to forget how to play football resulting in 4 losses in a row to end the regular season. With London also losing their last game, KC ended up in the first place in the division with a record of 7-7, tieing London, but the Coyotes won both their games versus London.
While Kanas City looked good on both sides of the ball, the defense really carried the team and made sure that they secured the top spot in the division. KC Defense had the fewest points allowed in the DSFL, they also finished second place in yards allowed with having the best rush defense, but only having the 5th best pass defense. Especially Brian Thomaslacher had an awesome season with 100 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovered and also 6 sacks! (431 words)

7) Awards season is a big part of the offseason festivities. Take the stand, in 400 words or more, for one or more players that are not your own, and argue why they should receive awards glory. They can be your teammates or anyone in the league. How did their stats and on the field contribution contribute to their case this year?
There are lots of players on the London Royals, that deserve to win awards. For example, London's running back Danny King had an awesome season and should definitely win RBOTY, OPOTY and should be in contention for the MVP race! While King only has the third most yards for running back this season, he was the most effective one with an average of 5.2 yards per carry. In comparison, the two players with more yards Theeks and Keppler had an average of 4.7 and 4.5 yards. It clearly shows that King only got less yards, because he had less attempts than those two othe running backs. Main reason for that was that he had a great backup with Jacoby Batista, who also averaged 4.5 yards and finished the season with 981 yards and 9 touchdowns. Speaking of touchdowns, King had the most rushing touchdowns this season with 11, tieing Theeks and Fakon there. King also had 12 receptions for 98 yards and 1 receiving touchdown. It really shows that King played a fundamental part in the success of the Royal's offense and he should definitely win RBOTY. It's time for the King to be crowned!
Another example of a player from the Royals that should win an award for their outstanding season is Line Backer Juan Domine. Domine made his presence filled in every game and had one of the best seasons a rookie in the DSFL ever had. He finished with a DSFL high 166 tackles laving Marshall with 145 and Sackson Senior with 135 clearly behind him. He also had 3 tackles for loss, which is also more than the two names mentioned above. Alejandro Chainbreaker, who also had a great season and is projected to be in the race for LBOTY also had only 2 tackles for loss and 102 tackles overall. Chainbreaker forced a total of 4 fumbles with 2 fumble recoveries, while Domine had 2 forced fumbles. Chainbreaker also had 6 sacks compared to 3 from Juan Domine. Domine also comes short in pass deflections having only 7, while Chainbreaker had 9. However, Domine also had 2 interceptions and Chainbreaker didn't have any in the whole season. In total, Domine wins in 3 stats and Chainbreaker got the upper hand in 4 of those stats listed. But if you look closer at the numbers, you can see that most of the categories were pretty close with one big difference in tackles with Domine having more than 60 tackles more than his rival. That's the reason I think Domine should win LBOTY and he should be in the contention for DROTY and DPOTY as well! (438 words)
