Game Recaps November 8, 2017 (Honolulu Rocks 127.80 — Chattanooga Chickadees 143.96)

The Rocks came up short for the second week in a row now, finishing the game with a score of 127.80 points against the Chattanooga Chickadees who scored 143.96 points. The defense (KC Chiefs) and the kicker (Ka’imi Fairbairn) both finished the week with a total of zero points scored. QB Alex Smith had a great game, totaling 263 yards, 2 touchdown passes, and one interception this week against the Chickadees. This performance made him The Rock’s highest scorer. Although Cam Newton has been struggling over the past couple weeks, he was the second highest scorer with 137 total passing yards and a touchdown. Hopefully the tides will turn for the Honolulu Rocks next week when they play the Virginia Beach Neptunes.
