Week 5 brings us a matchup we are all excited to see, a battle between undefeated teams 4 games deep into the season, is not seen often, and this game promises to bring us all a little rush of excitement as the Kings go in to the Mambas pit of Niger!

Niger has been bringing it strong from week to week, with a 2 headed qb system of Josh Hoffman and Edd Harget who combined have thrown for over 1100 yards, 12tds, 0 int's, and a QB rating combined of over 120!!! With deep threat Jordy Nelson#88 doing most of the damage on the recieving side of things with an over 20 yards per catch avg, and a running game know to many as the two headed snake, they are quick to strike, avg. over 6.8 ypc and combining for 268 yards per game on the ground and a total of 15tds this season. The kings defense will have to kick in high gear to stop this powerful Mamba offense, starting with the big guys up front, the Kings have some of the fastest and most dynamic lb's in africa in Brady Mceuen and Justin Niner, and what was called the flawless 4 in defensive backs Brandi Mceuen, Prime Times, Next Victim and John Snow...Prime Times has 5 pics and has taken 3 of them to the house this season, the secondary of this team looks to shut down the pass completely and let the front 7 handle the run. Stopping the run is something the Mambas will have to do as well facing one of the leagues leading rushers in Darshan Armani, and a powerful Kings line lead by Park Brownstone and company, however one of the key things for both teams will be the jobs of the LT's as they face two of the most dynamic pass rushers of our era in Will Mceuen of the Kings and Roc Steady of the Mambas...both have turned in dominating performance in the first quarter of the season. So tonight on prime time...Kings vs. Mambas, who will come out on top and prove to be a force in the Lion conference?

this is a huge game for us(Mambas). this has been the 1st season where we're finally winning one on one battles, and haven't given up the devastating plays that demoralized the team like last season.


We've been pretty close the last 2 seasons, but finally have the pieces in place to make a legit run deep into the playoffs. I'm really looking forward to this game

I guess i underrated the Mambas. I thought they was the fifth best team in the conference, but based on the last two games, they are way better than that. Looking forward to our game against you, Mambas (well, the same goes for Cape Verde, but right now i am more interested in seing how Mambas match up with the Rhinos).

Definitely feel fortunate to come out of that with a win. In my opinion a couple of plays made a difference and changed the momentum heavily. The start of the 3rd quarter did ya'll in. Great game and look forward to another meeting.

that happened to us a bunch of times last season

exact same scenario against calumet I think, pick6, then a long play for a td in a 1 min span. think we lost that one 41-20 as well

then the week after or something, we had same kinda luck against woolsheds

missed a 20 yard field goal, and next play 80 yard TD and lose by 6
