8 Man Contact: Week 3 Report / Shake Up In The Standings

Week 3 did more than reinforce the standings, It started to reveal the true identity of each team.

At the top, Tha Gang continues to separate themselves not only with wins but with balance. Sitting at 6-0 and leading the league with 179 points scored, they have proven they can win in multiple ways. Baxter Kirven continues to be the engine, creating explosive plays through the air while also making an impact defensively with interceptions. This is a complete team that can beat you in every phase, which makes them the clear team to chase right now.

Right behind them, NTX Unlimited is beginning to emerge as the strongest challenger in the league. After a statement 2-0 week, they have climbed into second place and are producing at a high level across the board. Jerell Norton is controlling the game at quarterback while Corde Burns has become the most dominant receiver in the league. Their connection has been nearly unstoppable. Defensively, players like Kenn Armstrong and Christopher Pinkney are stepping up, making NTX one of the most balanced teams heading into the next week.

The middle of the standings is where things start to tighten up.

Raiders and TMTR both sit within reach, but their paths have looked very different. The Raiders have shown flashes of dominance, especially on defense behind CaDerric Allen, who continues to disrupt offenses at a high level. The biggest question for them is consistency. TMTR, on the other hand, has had strong individual performances but has struggled to turn those into wins. Even with LDerric Leonard leading the league in tackles, they are still searching for momentum.

At the bottom of the standings, the story is not finished yet.

Legends and Fourth and Savage are still looking for their first breakthrough, but the talent is there. Players like Dee Ward and Eric Calamease are showing up on the leaderboard, proving they have the ability to compete. Now it becomes about execution and putting together a full game.
