With a single game remaining in Sunday's match-ups I was down by 10 points with only the New York Giants defence left to get me a win. It did not look good. But a glorious performance delivered 13 points and my Yahoo fantasy football run of glory continues!
In a rare spot of good luck, I'm going to win the week in my NFL.com fantasy draft as well, even though my #1 running back has gone on IR.
