Game Recap: Brooklyn Bolts Defeat Blacktips In Fourth Quarter

by FXFLnews

The Brooklyn Bolts finish 4-0 on the season.

Last night the Brooklyn Bolts defeated the travelling Blacktips to remain undefeated at 4-0, and clinch their spot as the team with the best record, in the inaugural FXFL season.

The Blacktips fall to 0-3 and end their inaugural season without winning a game.

On a cold, and windy night in Brooklyn, The Blacktips would score first, and hit the extra point, taking a 7-0 lead. The Bolts would answer right back, but not before turning the ball over on a bad snap, and then recovering it on yet another bad snap, on the very next play.

The cold and windy conditions, would lead to Brooklyn attempting a lot more 2-pt conversions than usual, but they would fail on their first attempt, and the Blacktips would lead 7-6.

The Blacktips would respond with former Superbowl Running Back, Tim Hightower, who would score his first FXFL Touchdown, and give the Blacktips a 13-6 lead.

The 13-6 lead would stand until late in the fourth quarter, when Brooklyn QB Corey Robinson led the Bolts on a drive  capped off with a Touchdown to Quintin Payton, and after a missed extra point, Brooklyn had trimmed the deficit to 13-12.

On the first play of the Blacktips next possession, Brooklyn linebacker Korey Williams would intercept a shovel pass intended for Hightower, and bring it in for the Touchdown, and give the Bolts an 18-13 lead.

On the ensuing kickoff, Brooklyn's Tevrin Brandon would scoop up a fumble and score another Touchdown, and Brooklyn would have three Touchdowns in less than 30 seconds of game time, and with a successful 2-pt conversion, Brooklyn would ice the game with a 26-13 lead, and go on to win by that score.

With rumors swirling that the final scheduled game of the FXFL regular season, scheduled for this Wednesday, will be rescheduled as a Championship game between Brooklyn and Omaha at a later date, this could be the last regular season game in the first season of the FXFL.

If this is the case, Brooklyn finishes in first place and goes a perfect 4-0, while the Blacktips finish in last place at 0-3 on the season.

Brooklyn will now meet 3-1 Omaha in the FXFL Championship Game, which will be scheduled at a date to be determined in late November.
