NEW CHESTER KNIGHTS 17
MELBORO GIANTS 16

It wasn’t pretty but the New Chester Knights made history last night with their 17-16 victory over the Melboro Giants in a snowy and icy Melboro.

Elijah Brooks struggled for three quarters (5/15, 76 yrds, 1TD 1 INT) and was then KNOCKED OUT of the game. HE suffered a concussion and will not play in next weeks game. PFL Officials confirmed it was a legal hit by Leon Stanley that took Brooks out of the game.

Ryan McKenzie ran for 184 yards on a night that defences dominated, causing four turnovers apiece. Giants’ QB Chase Hand was up against a tough pass defence and struggled even more than Brooks did ( 10/24, 108 yards, 0 TD, 3 INT).

Like we said, it wasn’t pretty, but it was effective. The Knights have made history as the first team in PFL history to win their first sixteen matches. Whether they attempt to go all out for 18-0 (especially without Brooks) is the next question.
