*Juggernaughts were led to their 18.40 point victory by a 32.30 point effort from Peyton Manning, who tore apart the Jacksonville Jaguars defense for 364 passing yards and 3 passing TDs in addition to 1 rushing yards. With this performance, Manning was the number 5 ranked quarterback for week 16. They also got help from a 17.80 point effort from Reggie Wayne, who beat the Jacksonville Jaguars defense for 108 receiving yards and 1 receiving TD.

"This team has served notice," *Juggernaughts coach Bill Brazis said.

*The Grizzlies were helped out in a losing cause by a 22.90 point effort from Marques Colston, who got by the Detroit Lions defense for 99 receiving yards and 2 receiving TDs. With this performance, Colston was the number 1 ranked wide receiver for week 16. They also got help from a 22.50 point effort from Derrick Ward, who tore apart the Carolina Panthers defense for 215 rushing yards.

"We lost our focus," *The Grizzlies coach Dave Cogar said.

Compounding the issue, *The Grizzlies could have scored 130.20 points and earned the win with their best lineup, but Dave Cogar left key players like Justin Gage and his corresponding 17.40 points on the bench.

*The Grizzlies drew the short straw with their schedule this week, as their point total would have resulted in a win against 8 out of 10 other potential opponents in week 16.

This brings the record for *Juggernaughts to 8-7, and drops *The Grizzlies to a record of 7-8.
