Flaherty Posts Huge Game in 56-0 Victory
Connor Flaherty's big game helped extend Twelve Bridges's winning streak to six on Friday. Flaherty did his part (and then some), throwing for 279 yards and three touchdowns while completing 84.2% of his passes for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
For the year, Flaherty has thrown 13 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 217.2 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 0.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 40 rushing yards.
