This is the largest margin in a final in league history and it was never close. Wayne A.'s IronCity went 11-3 and led the league with 1,777 points; Dave H.'s Sweep The Leg scraped in at 8-6 and sixth on points, and IronCity had already beaten them by 39 in week four. What made it a rout rather than a win was Todd Gurley, who scored 42 in the semi-final and 40 in the final, ran up 123 points across the last four weeks of the season, and finished the year worth 160 above replacement.
Sweep The Leg actually led after Saturday, by 15, on a Justin Tucker field-goal night. Then the one o'clock window arrived and IronCity scored 96 points in a single afternoon: Gurley 40, Tom Brady 19, Jordan Howard 16, Rob Gronkowski 13, A.J. Green 8. Sweep The Leg managed 29 in the same window and were 66 behind by two o'clock local time. Monday made it respectable and no more. 138 to 77, by 61. Sweep The Leg have reached three finals and lost all three, and the two heaviest defeats in the history of this game both belong to them.
