New Orleans-based flag football team advances to $1 million final against former pros

The ride continues for Fighting Cancer, the New Orleans-based flag football team trying to earn the $1 million crown waiting at the end of the American Flag Football Association championships.

Fighting Cancer defeated Money Team 35-26 on Saturday (July 14) to win the amateur championship in Indianapolis.

Next, they will play for the Ultimate Final on Thursday in Houston against one of the teams of former NFL players. The winner earns $1 million, and Fighting Cancer earned $50,000 for the win Saturday.

Fighting Cancer controlled most of the game against Money Team, but Money Team made a late push to tie it with 12 minutes remaining.
