The Miami Muffdivers entered the Monday night football game with a 33-point lead over the Philadelphia Griffins and were big favorites to finally win the franchise’s first championship. But then the Griffins dropped a coin into their Bijan Robinson pinball machine, and Fantasy Bowl XXXIV turned into a Philadelphia story. Robinson’s 32.5 points propelled the Griffins to a 62-53.5 comeback win.

The Griffins join the Blowfish and Mud franchises with a record 5 championships each.

In the third-place game, the Froglickers plugged in their own pinball machine named Derrick Henry and rode his 44 points to an easy 97.5-67 win over the Big Bang.

And in the fifth-place game, Monday night provided another comeback – this one for the Wildcats, who barely edged the Beach Dudes 66.5-63.

With one week left in the points race, Philadelphia leads Miami by 19.5 points, with the Big Bang (-35), Armadillos (-35.5) and, theoretically, Froglickers (-75.5) still within striking distance of an overall points prize.
