Week 5

vs Seoul White Tigers

Final

L 20-21

Game Summary

The Devils hosted the White Tigers in an emotional game but fell 21-20 after a last-second shovel pass for a touchdown by The General.

A Heartbreaker for the Devils!

With Rodrigo Martinez temporarily traded to Cape Town, veteran Marcus Boone made his first start in three years for the Devils. Boone was honored before the game alongside his friend and rival, Seoul’s 51-year-old quarterback Kim Song Lee, with both players receiving keys to matching red 2181 Lamborghini Diablos from LA ownership. Boone looked sharp early, finding Anthony DeLuca for a score and later hitting Casey Jackson, who juked “The Ghost Tiger” Lim Ho Sook for another touchdown.

However, disaster struck during a lengthy fourth-quarter drive when Boone’s quick slant intended for DeLuca was tipped at the line and intercepted by Lim Ho Sook. With 1:47 left on the clock, “The General” Kim Song Lee orchestrated a masterful final drive, culminating in a game-winning ankle-high shovel pass to his running back with just three seconds remaining.

Around the League

In one of the most brutal games of the year, dubbed “The Blood Bowl,” Rodrigo Martinez suited up for the Cape Town Great White against the Moscow Red Army. Martinez took an absolute beating from the Red Army, suffering nine sacks, a busted lip, and requiring six stitches, but still managed to rush for 89 yards before the GFL Commissioner officially voided the trade and returned him to Los Angeles.

Elsewhere, the Tokyo Steel stomped the Cairo Scarabs 30-17, handing Cairo their first loss of the season.
