New Jersey Generals vs. Houston Gamblers

QB1

Kyle Lauletta is making his first start at quarterback for the Generals.

Stuffed!

The Generals and Gamblers each punted to begin the game, which was followed by the former going for it on fourth-and-2 from the 50-yard line on their next possession. Running back Darius Victor got the call on the run but was stopped short of the line to gain by Gamblers defensive back Donald Rutledge Jr.

Get up!

On third down of the ensuing possession, Gamblers quarterback Kenji Bahar hit tight end Clint Sigg Jr., who picked up the first down and went airborne for extra yardage. Sigg had a 15-yard reception later in the drive.

BOOM!

On the ninth play of the drive, Mark Thompson bulldozed his way into the end zone for a 6-yard score. Houston led 7-0 after the first quarter.

Making it happen

Faced with a third-and-17 on the Generals’ 5-yard line, Lauletta took matters into his own legs, taking off, absorbing a hit and gaining enough yards for the first down.
