Jays' pursuit of 13


It has been a record-breaking season for Boom Town Blue Jays owner Anthony Quagliano, who has previously won a franchise-best eight games in 2016.

Anthony, whose team name refers to his alma mater at Creighton University, is on track to topple the Finks League record of 12 wins in a season shared by nine teams. An unprecedented three teams won 12 games last season. All three finished in the money: Champion Serkus, runner-up Quags (owned by Anthony's father, Dick) and third-place Eggers.

The Jays (11-2) have won seven consecutive matches after beating the Lewis Division-leading Distillers 23-22 in Week 13. The Jays have remaining games against the Independents (6-7) in Week 14 and a rematch against Dad's Hurricanes (10-3) in Week 15. The Jays' last loss was 73-58 to Quags in Week 6.

Daddy Quags is one of two Finks owners to ever win 12 games in a season, along with former owner Chris Traczek. Quags' first 12-win season came in 2007 when he went on to win Finger Bowl 14.

Anthony is in his fourth season in the Finks League. His previous seasons did not foreshadow this season's success. He was 7-8 in 2015, 8-7 in 2016 and 4-11 in 2017.

The Jays are rockin' and rollin' but have yet to clinch the Urlacher Division title. That might come down to the Week 15 family duel against Dad to end the Finks League regular season.

POW watch: RB Gurley LAR was the Jays' top player in Week 13 with 17 Finks points. Gurley is favored to earn Player of the Week honors for the first time, which may seem odd coming from an NFL MVP candidate. After Week 13, Gurley leads the NFL in rushing yards (1,175) and scoring (120 points).
