Parity is Live and Well in Week Two
Storm Claim Florida
February 27, 2022
Tampa, FL - The Alliance knew what they we're doing when they put this game in the spotlight on ESPN on Sunday Night. Tampa Bay Storm QB Jameis Winston didn't disappoint against the defending Champions.
Storm RB Devonta Freeman got the scoring started on the first possession when he topped off an impressive drive in the end zone after a 15 yard scamper. Apollos QB Garrett Gilbert didn't wait long to respond however as he went the length of the field before finding TE Jordan Leggett on a 6 yard score. QB Winston answered right back with a 13 yard TD pass to TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins.
After the blazing first quarter, the defenses settled in and didn't give up much ground either way and had the score 14-6 at half time. QB Gilbert took the first possession of the second half down to the 1 yard line before once again finding TE Jordan Leggett and making the score, 14-13. QB Winston and the Storm put together an eight minute drive that again concluded with a QB Winston TD pass but this time it was an 11 yard slant to WR Rashad Greene. Apollos K Younghoe Koo would nail back to back FGs to end the third quarter with a score of 21-19 in favor of the Storm.
After a K Elliott Fry Field Goal, QB Gilbert gave the road team their first lead of the game when he connected down the sideline with WR Charles Johnson on a 38 yard TD pass. However, this wasn't the same Tampa Bay team of the last few years. QB Winston rallied the troops and milked the clock. With only :43 on the clock, RB Devonta Freeman went around the edge of the Orlando defense for an 11 yard TD run. The 49,812 Storm faithful showed their thoughts on the team's most important win to date.
