Syracuse Strong LB EJ Maeweather takes home MVP honors from NFA title game

The Syracuse Strong has won consecutive NFA league championship titles thanks in large part to their fearless defensive leader linebacker EJ Maeweather.

On Saturday night Syracuse beat the Troy Fighting Irish 22-12 to complete an undefeated 14-0 season.

The offense came in small spurts, but it was ultimately the defense that defined this ball game.

This contest featured a safety, multiple turnovers, and two identities clashing.

Syracuse has made it a habit of destroying opponents with the majority of their wins coming by way of blowout. So the Irish brought their wing-t offense in to slow the game down, minimize mistakes, and hopefully knock off Syracuse.
