Jubas ended the regular season on a four game tear, narrowly missing the playoffs. They looked to have an easy path to a Toilet Bowl finals and they started off by dispatching Battle Angels pretty easily last week. In contrast, Dirty Birds finished their regular season on a 1-4 slide, landing them right into the consolation bracket. Once there, they took down Inscrutable Drama Kings division bottom dweller Athena Nike with ease, setting up a Birds versus Jubas Toilet Bowl.
Eric’s team had never hit a Toilet Bowl yet, and actually haven’t missed the post-season since 2009, one year before we started the losers tourney. Instead, they found themselves on the wrong end of an offensive explosion as Jon’s team dominated behind rookie Odell Beckham Jr.’s 36.3 points. Jubas had their own stellar rookie performance, 27.7 points by Jeremy Hill, but Hill rode the bench.
Not that it would have been closer, as Jubas couldn’t get much going aside from Ben Roethlisberger’s 17.8 points. In a season where the running game abandoned them — Adrian Peterson and LeSean McCoy — Dirty Birds took to the air behind Andrew Luck, two Patriot missiles in Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelan, and two promising receiving rookies, Beckham and Sammy Watkins. This is Birds' first Toilet Bowl victory in three appearances.
