It takes a lot of luck to win a fantasy football championship.
I was on both ends of it Sunday night.
In my one quarterfinal match, I was up four points at the end of the Giants-Cowboys game. My opponent and I did not have anyone on the Rams or Seahawks, so our battle was closing in a hurry.
For most of that Sunday night game, I was in control. Late in the fourth quarter, Jake Ballard caught a touchdown, narrowing my lead. My opponent had Ballard left, and still had a chance. On the Giants' final drive, Eli Manning hit Ballard, and he was headed for the end zone.
Thankfully, Ballard was tackled just short of a touchdown, saving me.
Earlier Sunday, in my other league, I had DeMarco Murray leave the game. I lost by five points. Had Murray not suffered a season-ending injury, I'm sure I'd be in the semifinals, especially when you look at what Felix Jones did in Murray's place.
That's how it goes in fantasy football.
