The Zappers started the season 0-4, traded NFL Hall of Fame receiver Terrell Owens midway through the campaign, cycled through a number of quarterbacks, had to release one of them for smoking a joint on the field in May and needed a shootout challenge win over the Glacier Boyz just to get into the playoffs.
And now they are your season two FCF champions. Talk about a journey.
Led by quarterback Kelly Bryant’s big performance, the Zappers beat the Bored Ape Football Club 42-24. There was no need for Johnny Manziel while Bryant was making plays like these:

The Bored Apes—the best team in the FCF during the regular season—took a 6-0 early lead, the only one they would hold in the game. A late attempt to mount a comeback was snuffed out by a huge hit from Armond Lloyd:
Earlier in the season, Manziel provided the team with a motto of sorts, noting that, “Win or lose, we booze on the Zappers.”
Looks like the drink of choice will be champagne on Saturday night.
