We'll play our season opener this weekend!

There's some strange weather Downunder. Patri-rats fans bought almost all of the tickets and braved a swirling blizzard to pack the stadium - only to see the weather change to perfect Blood Bowl weather just in time for kickoff!
The Patri-rats pushed forward, suffering only a KO linerat for their trouble. Punch a hole in the defense, run through, hand off the ball (burned a reroll there), cage up in the opposing backfield ... only then did the Patri-rats coach realize that he was down a linerat, unable to prevent a blitz on the ball carrier.
Downunderworld blitzed (of course) and took down the ball carrier (of course), recovered the ball (of course), but failed a go for it to get away (whew!). Underworld thrower put himself into the concussion protocol, and Ratty Moss managed to recover the ball from the pigpile and ran in the first touchdown of the season!
With plenty of time to equalize, Downunderworld played safe and confident, moving laterally and protecting their ball carrier well. Patri-rats put on some pressure but ultimately could only force Downunderworld to roll dice - which succeeded. 1:1 in turn 7.
Patri-rats one-turner went badly, but fortunately the Downunderworld one-turner Throw Teammate attempt from the defense failed as well. 1:1 at halftime.
Patri-rats lined up on defense to start the second half. Downunderworld fumbled the kickoff recovery, and just like that the ball was immediately under pressure. The Underworld recovered the ball but couldn't dodge away cleanly, and that was too much of a chance for Skaven to pass up. Gutter Runner #80 "Downtown" T. Brown scooped up the ball and ran forward, reasonably well screened off. He had to survive an improbable 2d blitz due to STUNTY MAGIC, but stayed on his feet, waited for an opening, dodged free. 2:1.
Downunderworld received and were under a lot of pressure to score quickly. Thrower #9 Thran Forefangs caught the High Kick and stayed safe in the backfield, waiting for his teammates to open up receivers downfield. Patri-rats played extremely aggressive defense, sending out a pass rush to try to screen off Thran. Underworld Troll #12 Zoljin, who had been impeccably reliable all game, chose that moment to cause a brutal turnover.
Thran was quickly marked, blitzed (took a reroll but he went down), ball was screened, and Ratty Moss tried to grab the ball for the TD. 1. Scattered.
Downunderworld nearly recovered - Thran heroically dodged through tackle zones, grabbed the ball, and heaved a desperation pass ... which landed just short. Downunderworld could only look on as the ball was knocked free, and #12 Tom Terrific expertly grabbed the ball and tossed a perfect dart to the waiting #83 Welkrat.
Goblin #1 Ciq threw a desperation block which somehow sucker-punched Blitzer #24 The Law, who now stands in serious danger of missing the next game. But they couldn't stop Welkrat from running in the 3:1 and ending the game.
Tom Terrific won the MVP (OF COURSE), rolling doubles and possibly growing an extra arm. With ample winnings, the Patri-rats coach, who is not a doctor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmguz22qOf4), hired an Apothecary.
Parti-rats take the lead in the Table (for now). Downunderworld is down a thrower and short on money. But it's a long season ahead for both teams!

Accu-rat reporting. Apparently Downunderworld's apothecary is not a doctor either!
