AFA Playoffs: Denver at Houston

HOUSTON -- The Demons and Gunslingers ready to get it on here under the dome they call Astro. There's always a thick atmosphere of tension and hatred when Denver and Houston -- the two Fitzgibbon Bros. teams -- go at it. Houston the No. 1 seed coming in, and Denver barely made the playoffs. But you get the feeling it's not gonna be a cakewalk for Houston on this particular afternoon.

Look at Terrell Davis shred tacklers on this long run on the Demons' first possession. And this is the team that you supposedly can't run against. Terrell, though, paying the price. He's seeing stars on the bench temporarily as Cunningham brings 'em up third and long from the Houston 20. Heavy rush by Pryce. Randall just getting the pass off. Into traffic. Oh, the one-handed grab by Shepherd. He's across the goal line! 7-0 Demons.

Garrison Hearst -- there's probably no better candidate for AFA MVP. Here's Garrison showing why. Scooting through the hole opened by Richmond Webb. In the clear! Hearst to the 30, the 20, the 10. Finally pulled down by Marion on the Denver three. Two plays later it's Hearst doing the honors. We're all tied up.

Early second quarter. Randall in the pocket. Zips it over the middle to McCaffrey. Nothing but synthetic grass in front of him. Easy Ed takes it in for for the 25-yard score. 14-7 Denver. Do you believe in miracles?

Cunningham racking up the big numbers here in the first half. Here's the 13-yard hook-up with with Shepherd, with Gordon falling down in coverage. They'll get in range for the long field goal try by Stoyanovich. From 50 yards away. GOOOOOOD. 24-7 Demons with 2:31 to go in the half.

24-14 Demons as we begin the second half. Terry Fair catching the kickoff at the eight. He tucks the rock and runs. And runs. And runs. What a cutback at the 35. Shredding a tackler at the 40. HE ... COULD ... GO ... ALL ... THE ... WAY. What a way for Houston to begin the second half. Denver up by only a field goal.

Brock Marion on the sideline. They think he might have a concussion. He can only watch as Hearst takes the handoff. Garrison breaking the Brian Williams tackle. He's got a convoy. Color him gone. Hearst with the go-ahead TD. 28-24 Houston. What a comeback by the Slingers.

Denver coming right back. Second and three from the Houston 24. Davis on the sweep left. He's got the corner. Look at him go! Terrell hitting paydirt, saluting the hostile Houston crowd. Demons back on top.

Marion back in there now, but it's not doing much good. Look at Elways throwing on the run. He's got Moulds. Eric to the 30, the 20, the 10. Finally pulled down by Marion on the five. Hearst rambling in two plays later. Now it's Houston's turn to hold the lead. 35-31 Slingers with about 14 minutes to play. What a f---ing game!

Denver down by one, but on the move. Here's Cunningham hooking up with Morton for the first down on the Houston 32. Just 4:29 to go. The trainers working on Shannon Sharpe over on the sidelines. Cunningham scrambling. Tosses to Morton on the run. He's got it! First down on the Gunslinger 10!

Third and goal now from the six. Conwell filling in for Sharpe. Catching the hitch pass. He's got a path. TOUCHDOWN! TOUCHDOWN! Ernie Conwell with the huge grab. Denver taking the lead! Is Houston going down?

No, says Hearst. Garrison with the 35-yard gain. Garrison with 18 more. Garrison from the four. TOUCHDOWN! TOUCHDOWN HOUSTON! The Gunslingers tie it at 42-42. 2:20 to go. The only problem is that they did it so quickly they've given the Demons oodles of time to score the tiebreaker.

Third and six Demons from their own 31. The give to Davis. Sweep right. Look at that block by Dexter. Terrell up the sideline. 40 yards to the Houston 29! Cunningham shooting it out for Morton. Oh, bad pass. It's picked by Hardy. A huge play! Houston with the ball and time to get in range for the winner.

Third and four. Elway throwing deep for Andre Reed. Incomplete. Wait. There's a flag. Pass interference on Lassiter. First down Houston on the 48! Here's Elway hitting Moulds for the apparent first down on the to the 24. Wait. Holding. Holding on Mawae. Houston is pushed back to the Denver 44.

Third and long. Elway feeling the heat. Releases the pass just before Douglas levels him. Off target. INTERCEPTED! Dewayne Washington. Look at him go. A 36-yard return to the Gunslinger 19!

Just three ticks left. The Demons sending out the field goal unit. This should be an easy one for Stoyanovich. The snap ...

FUMBLE. THEY FUMBLE THE SNAP! We'll have overtime, baby. Can you believe this s---?"

Houston with the opening possession. Denver holds. The Demons now starting on their own 20. 32 yards to McCaffrey on first down. But the drive stalls there. They'll punt it away.

Now Houston's on the move. Hearst going for four yards and the first on third and three. Then it's Elway to Moulds for 11 yards and the first down on the 19! I'm starting to think I *don't* believe in miracles. First and goal on the six. Hearst wheeling around the end. He's got a path.

TOUCHDOWN! TOUCHDOWN GARRISON HEARST. THE GUNSLINGERS PULL IT OUT!

Unbef---inglievable. This has gotta be one of the great games ever in organized football. Houston on to the semifinals. This'll keep them Fitzgibbon brothers jabbering for months.
