Meaning, one point short of 90.
Dah Commish doesn't like to write about his own teams, but then again it isn't often that a Dah Commish-run team finds itself in first place past the midway mark of a Finks League season.
Dah Commish has enjoyed only four winning Finks League seasons since winning his last championship with Anthony Munoz & Cleopatra in 2012.
So it was with great surprise that Dah Commish's current Saints Preserve Us! won 89-21 in a Week 11 victory over the Dublin Brawlers. The previous week, the Saints! (8-3) scored 70 points in another victory.
The 89 nearly tied the Finks League record of 90 points scored in a single game by Matt Simo's Chicago Blitz, also in Week 11 but in 1995, the second season of Finks League. The Blitz placed third that season.
Here is the Saints!' half of the box score for 89 points:
QB Burrow CIN 18 pts
RB Mixon HOU 23 (Player of the Week)
RB Montgomery DET 15
WR A. St. Brown DET 19
WR Pickens PIT 3
K Fairbairn HOU 11
Saints! starters scored seven touchdowns, three for Mixon and two each for Montgomery and A. St. Brown.
In true Dah Commish style, the Saints! left points on the bench and would have broken Simo's forever record if starting another WR besides Pickens. On the bench, the Saints! had WR Higgins CIN and TE Bowers LV with 11 points each and WR McConkey LAC with five points.
What has made this season even more rewarding for the Saints! is that five starters were auction day selections: Burrow, Mixon, Montgomery, A. St. Brown and Fairbairn. Two other reserves, QB Murray AZ and Higgins, were also auction day pickups.
In case you were wondering, the Saints! are behind the pace of topping Miazga's Eggers for the season-high scoring mark of 853 points from 2014. The Eggers scored 56.9 Finks points per game that season. The Saints! have scored 52.2 points per game this season.
