The Cretins had a seven-point lead heading into Sunday night, but victory seemed elusive: While Jeff still had a QB to go, his opponent Pirates had a QB, an RB, a WR AND a PK starting in this game.

Kurt could have swapped out any of those first three positions for Texans playing on Monday night — but this was more than a fantasy game: It was his Packers, desperately needing a win against the hated Vikings.

With a game so important ... the football gods could do nothing but laugh.

The Packers’ first score came on a Rodgers-to-Adams TD pass, followed by an Aaron Jones TD run. CBS gave the Pirates an 80% chance of victory.

Then the Packers wouldn’t score another TD, let alone move the ball the rest of the night. For a Level 10 insult, Minnesota kicker Dan Bailey missed 47- and 56- yard field goals — the last one worth 8 WFL points — as the Cretins won by eight and the Vikings won by seven. Because that wasn’t painful enough, the Texans would light up the scoreboard Monday, leaving a net 47 points on the Pirates’ bench.

Kurt, and all of his slim playoff hopes, crashed around him.

But he wasn’t alone. John’s Gromits looked in control of their must-win game with a 12-point lead against 2-9 Jim. So the No-Names got 15 points from kicker Somebody (sic) Fairbairn to claim victory in a 116-113 thriller.

Rich won his game over Pat by 14 in the biggest blowout of the week; Ted edged Bob by five in the Game of the Week, surviving his Rams/Chiefs bye.

That means Ted, Rich and Jeff are each 9-3 with a two-game lead and a month of football to go. Ted and Jeff face each other in Week 13. Jeff and Rich square off in Week 14.

The football gods are licking their lips. Someone else’s playoff hopes will come crashing down.
