Week 8 saw the fall of two records in our league. Griffins quarterback Payton Manning’s 36-point week breaks the previous high points for a single week at QB, a record formerly held by the Muffdivers, when Tommy Maddox score 33 points in Week 10 of 2002.

The defending champion Big Bang also broke the league record for points from 4 starting receivers. Rod Smith, Marvin Harrison, David Givens and Antonio Gates racked up 74 points, besting a record held since Week 6 of 1996 when the old Wisconsin Cheeseheads posted 69 points with 4 starting receivers (Antonio Freeman-23, Shawn Jefferson-17, Muhsin Muhammad-0, and Shannon Sharpe-29).

Finally — and I’m not sure if this is a record but I don’t recall it ever happening in the league — the Mercer Mustangs last week had ZERO points from all of their positions, both starters and bench, except for the kickers (Vanderjagt started and scored 4, Lindell on the bench scored 8).
