While it was a loss for BUFFBULLY, it was a good week for Torrey Smith, who had a season-best 12.70 points but not so good for Geronimo Allison who scored a goose egg. You think that's bad? Houston Defense scored -3 points! It's one thing to not score but to actively take away points is a new level of hell. Legion of Boom (2-3, 420.82 points) remains last in the NFCN and BUFFBULLY (1-4, 373.28 points) stays third in the AFCW. WEEK 5 SPECIAL AWARD: MVP (Highest scoring individual player, DEF included)
