The 20th season of The Quick and the Dead League ended perfectly in a game featuring 988 yards of total offense.
The Charleston Hammers outgained the Kansas City Monarchs 572/416 in total yards, 146/48 in yards rushing, 426/368 in yards passing, 28/15 in 1st downs, 6/10 to 5/12 on 3rd down conversations and 34:32/25:28 in time of possession.
The 1st half became a high paced offensive shootout where the Hammers scored on all 6 possessions including touchdowns on their first 5 possession while the Monarchs scored on 4 of their first 5 possessions leading to one Monarch punt in the first half.
The score at halftime was 38-24 and Hammers QB Daniel Wiles had 5 TD passes in that first half but the game completely turned in the second half as both offenses went cold and both defenses decided to show up.
The Monarchs forced interceptions on the first 2 Hammer possessions but managed just a fieldgoal off those turnovers to make the score 38-27. The Monarchs defense would force 3 straight punts but couldn't do anything on offense and eventually the Hammers forced an interception of their own which led to a fieldgoal to extend the lead back to 2 touchdowns 41-27 with just 2:48 left in the game.
The Monarchs scored a quick touchdown with 2 minutes remaining to make it a one score game 41-34 but the Hammers offense ran out the clock to hold off the Monarchs and complete their perfect season.
