The Norfolk Neptunes escaped Rochester with a 23-20 over the Absolut Goofs. Tonite the home team lived up to its name turning the ball over 7 times with 5 picks and 2 lost fumbles. Still the Goofs appeared to call the perfect play when Coach Kenny Oberg called for a look-in pass from reserve QB Kyle Boller to DeAngelo Williams which was seemingly left wide open by the Neptune defense, but the ball was somehow picked off by LB Terrell Suggs at the Norfolk 10 and the "Tunes" ran out the final minute.
Frank Gore led the Neps with 136 yards rushing on 24 carries and Derek Anderson threw TD passes to Dwayne Bowe and Greg Jennings that had opened up a 14-3 lead for the visitors until Rochester mounted a rally that saw them take the lead 17-14 at half. Phil Dawson added three FG's including the game winner with over 5 minutes to go in the 4th quarter.
Norfolk improves to 2-1 and Rochester falls to 0-3.
