Recap

There was no stopping the New York offense Sunday as once again the Knights set a slew of league records in their 49-31 triumph over Orlando, sending the Intimidators to the brink of playoff elimination.

Joseph Redfeather threw for 6 TD’s in his second consecutive game, while wide receiver Jake Legacy became the first player in league history to catch 4 touchdown passes in a single game. New York’s 566 passing yards also was a game-high this year.

Orlando’s defense was flat embarassed. New York attempted a record low 5 third downs, while Orlando was forced to attempt 17. The Intimidators made a game out of it but like Dallas last week, Orlando was never really in it. If New York had not missed two field goals in the fourth quarter, New York would have also been the first team to score over 49 points in a game.

Newcomers to the New York defense made a difference. Free safety Marco Silva had an interception on the defenses’ second play of the game and Isaac Holt recorded 7 tackles.

Running back Zach Parker came up 8 yards short of his career high, rushing for 161 yards on 25 carries. Parker finished week 8 atop the league’s yards per carry leaders at 4.89. His 65 broken tackles ranks third best heading into week 9.

Silva and Holt return to Grand Rapids Monday night to try and clinch a playoff spot for the Knights.
