The Naughty Figs defeated a divisional opponent for the second week in a row, this time besting the defending Eastern champion C.W.O.T. 29-21. The victory is the first over Jody since 2001 for the Figs, who are off to a surprising 2-0 start in the young season.

Fig quarterback Chad Pennington had his second straight double-digit game (11 points), and rookie Roy Williams benefited with 10 points of his own. Clinton Portis and Fred Taylor were held to just 6 combined points on the ground, but Joe Horn and Santana Moss picked up the slack, slicing through the C.W.O.T. secondary for a combined 13. Aaron Brooks rallied the C.W.O.T. with a game-high 15 points, but the other 5 offensive starters could only muster 11 more, leaving the visitors in a huge hole. Jody's heralded Dolphin defense had a monstrous 17 point game Sunday night, but it was too little, too late to avoid the loss.

Unfortunately, the game was more costly than in just the standings for the C.W.O.T., as Deuce McAllister and Todd Heap both went down with injury. The two are expected to miss several weeks for the already thin Pewter & Black.

The defending Super Bowl Champion Bock Boys saw their five-game winning streak go up in smoke with a 26-18 road loss to The Pimps. Thomas, who had posted the league's best effort last week, was held to the lowest point total in Week 2.

The home-town Pimps jumped out to an early lead on the champs, as first-time starter Jake Delhomme threw for a team-high 9 points. Corey Dillon doubled his point total from a week ago with 8 points, and Isaac Bruce and Rod Smith combined for another 9. The real muscle for The Pimps, though, came from the defense, where its Cowboys squad tagged Thomas for 17 points. The Bock Boys struggled to catch up, with Priest Holmes and Quentin Griffin only combining for 9 points a week after scoring 32. A late Monday night rally had Daunte Culpepper scoring 8 and the Eagles defense 11, but it wasn't enough to avoid the interdivisional loss.

The win is the fourth straight for The Pimps, dating back to last season, and keeps them atop the Eastern Division tied with the Figs at 2-0. The champs slip to 1-1 as they head into a Super Bowl rematch with the Raze next week.

The Irwin Hellions and Anderson Brewmeisters recorded an early nominee for Game of the Year in Week 2, as the two clubs boasted the two best performances in the league. In the end, Donovan McNabb's Monday night heroics catapulted the Hellions to a 31-29 victory over the home-town Brewmeisters.

Anderson took control of the game early with 11 points apiece from Peyton Manning and LaDainian Tomlinson, and another 9 from wideout Torry Holt. The Hellions countered with 12 from Edgerrin James and 9 from kicker Todd Peterson. The two defenses put on quite a show of their own, with Anderson's new Patriots squad besting Irwin's Buccaneers 22-16. By the end of play Sunday, the Brewmeisters had forged a 9-point lead. But then, under the Monday night lights, Donovan McNabb ripped the Brewskies for a game-high 15 points, while Anderson halfback Brian Westbrook was held to just 4.

The dramatic come-from-behind victory lifts the Hellions to 2-0 and into sole possession of first place in the West. The loss is the second straight to open the season for Anderson, who now already sits two games back of The Pimps and the Figs in the East.

The Abstract Machines slipped past the Piana Raze at En Fuego Field, 30-24, thanks to some Monday night points of their own. Down 3 after Sunday, kicker Morten Andersen booted 9 points to score the Machines their first win of 2004.

The Piana Raze rebounded from a horrific Week 1, jumping all over the Machines early. First-round pick Kevan Barlow ran for a team-high 12 points, while Jamal Lewis and Reggie Wayne each had 9. Unfortunately, two Raze receivers were shut out altogether, allowing the visitors to pick themselves up off the mat. Curtis Martin led the counter-assault while continuing his career revival with 13 points, but it was ultimately the play of the Ravens defense that brought the Machines back into it. Ray Lewis and company hammered Piana for 20 game-changing points, putting Andersen in a position to complete the comeback Monday night. The disappointing loss drops the defending Eastern Division champion Raze to a 0-2.

A week after posting the league's second best effort in Week 1, Pirk's Wicked Oil Profiteer$ pulled an S.S. Valdez against the Sims Stereco, clocking in the league's worst showing in a 41-37 loss.

Hines Ward (11 points) and Randy Moss (6) led the Profiteer$ attack, but no other offensive starters were able to score more than 4. Even the Titan defense that hammered Thomas for 20 points last week was only able to post one-fifth that total against Sims. The Stereco weren't without their own struggles. While Mike Vick led the offense with 12, their Rams defense actually coughed up a point to the Profiteer$, leaving them in a hole heading into Monday night. Terrell Owens and David Akers combined for an inspired 17 points, including Akers' 47-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter thAt proved to be the difference maker. The Stereco victory is their third straight over Pirk and first of the season. P.W.O.P., meanwhile, suddenly find themselves two games back in the West at 0-2.
