'LFL' Game 18 Recap: Confetti Reigns Over Seattle, 27-21
The 2015 Legends Cup Championship game, taking place in the Pacific Northwest, was the most anticipated game in Legends Football League history. One team searched for its legacy as history would be rewritten, while the other believed in its own destiny of becoming the next LFL Champion.
It was a game that started out lopsided in the first half and quickly turned into another must see game, as the Mist edged the Bliss 27-21. Fans were at the edge of their seats during a game that went down to the final minute and for the second straight year, the Legends Cup finished with an onside kick attempt as the team seeking to get the ball back was down by six points.
Seattle won the coin toss and elected to defer on the opening kickoff, indicating that they were ready to take on a Chicago Bliss offense that has been led by a dominant ground attack all season long. Indeed, they were ready. The Mist defense forced the Bliss into a quick four-play turnover on downs as Chicago faced a 4th-and-1 from their own 20-yard line. Game MVP, Stevi Schnoor, came up big reading the Bliss inside hand-off to Nneka Nwani and stopped her in her tracks as Danika Brace finished her off and gave her an earful, as the Mist offense started taking the field to begin their drive at Chicago’s 19-yard line. The Seattle Mist had not come to sit in awe of Chicago’s past. They had come to win.
