04 NOV 2026: WEEK 8 DONE!

04 November 2026: In the real-world NFL, week 8 generated some pretty unusual stories. The first, and maybe strangest of these was the Buccaneers defeating the Falcons in a rain-soaked game without completing a single pass all game. That’s the first time that’s happened since 1974! The second is the Bears beating the Seahawks 34-17, with Jeffery Simmons making an immediate defensive impact on his debut for the Bears. And the third is the Commanders handing the Eagles a 27-10 defeat despite a slow start that gifted the Seahawks a 10-0 lead only to come back and score 27 unanswered points to secure the win. So did the performances on the NFL Retro Bowl '27 Championship leaderboard match the real-world? Let’s take a look!      

Well, not for the first week, none of the leaderboard games went the way of real-life. In the first match-up, the Falcons fans changed the story by notching a convincing leaderboard win over the Buccaneers to hang on to their 9^th place. Likewise in the Bears-Seahawks match-up, the Seahawks fans outperformed their real-life team by outscoring the Bears to stay in 12^th. And in the third of those games, the Eagles fans posted a very strong score of 11,671,224 to defeat the Commanders and climb into 2^nd place.  

With the 49ers having their bye week, it was time for the Ravens to shine, and boy did they grab the opportunity! Posting this week’s highest score, the Ravens have finally made it to the top of the table and we’ll have to wait until week 13 when they have their own bye week before we find out whether they’ve done enough to outrun the 49ers. Of course, it’s still only week 8, there’s plenty of weeks still to go, and you the players can change everything as we enter Week 9! Show your support for your team & move them up the leaderboard by playing next week's game and setting the highest score you can. 

Our weekly special mention for this week's highest individual score on the leaderboard goes to a Lions fan who has posted the highest weekly score more than once. With a score of 15,285, you take the title of week eight MVP! Congratulations to you, and well done for your continued excellence! 

28 OCT 2026: WEEK 7 DONE!

28 October 2026: In the real-world NFL, week 7 was all about the league’s undefeated teams facing difficult challenges. The 49ers, who have been blazing a trail in the early weeks of the season were defeated by a merciless Falcons team with rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. leading his team to an unexpected but hugely impressive 29-20 victory. Elsewhere, the Chiefs also suffered their first defeat of the season. The Seahawks, whose incredible defence crushed the Chiefs by holding them to a single field goal, walked away from Lumen Field with a statement 20-3 win. That left the Vikings as the only undefeated team in the NFL after their relentless defense gridlocked the Colts to win that game 16-10. So did the performances on the NFL Retro Bowl '27 Championship leaderboard match the real-world?

The short answer is no, like last week, none of the match-ups went to script! On the leaderboard the 49ers continued their dominance by convincingly outscoring the Falcons with what might be the highest weekly team score of the season so far. The Chiefs also bettered their real-life counterparts by managing to narrowly outscore the Seahawks (whose 12,729,998 score was the highest losing score of the week) and climb two places to 7th on the leaderboard. And the third of those fixtures: the Vikings and Colts match-up? That was the closest result of the week with the Colts squeezing past the Vikings by about 200,000 points.

The 49ers still sit on top of the table with the Ravens and Eagles their closest competitors. At the other end, the Chargers and Jaguars fell into the bottom two spots after scoring no points from their bye weeks. Of course, it’s still only week 7, there’s plenty of weeks still to go, and you the players can change everything as we enter Week 8! Show your support for your team & move them up the leaderboard by playing next week's game and setting the highest score you can.

Our weekly special mention for this week's highest individual score on the leaderboard goes back to a Lions fan this week. With a score of 15,961, you take the title of week seven MVP! Congratulations to you!

21 OCT 2026: WEEK 6 DONE!

21 October 2026: In the real-world NFL, week 6 had some fascinating stories: the first was high-profile injuries, with Jalen Hurts, the Eagles QB, unfortunately being ruled out for the rest of the season after their 25-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers; and Rams star WR Davante Adams unluckily suffering a ruptured hamstring which will see him sidelined for a number of weeks. Talking of the Rams, the second story of the week was the Cardinals pulling off a huge upset at the SoFi Stadium, winning 18-16 without scoring a single touchdown. Chad Ryland deserves his flowers for six field goals including a 43-yard winner as the clock ran down. And the third story of the week was the pressure building on coaches and GMs as the season takes shape for their teams. The Colts said goodbye to their General Manager this week after losing 26-20 to the Titans. So did the performances on the NFL Retro Bowl '27 Championship leaderboard match the real-world?

The short answer is no, none of the matchups went to script! On the leaderboard the Eagles fans posted a huge score of 15,260,050, so however rocked by injuries their team may be in real-life, their stars are still able to make the difference in the game. Preseason darlings the Rams also fared better than their real-life counterparts by defeating the Cardinals and climbing into the top 10. And maybe the Colts’ GM would still be in post if the real-life team had beaten the Titans as convincingly as they did on the leaderboard, with the Colts moving up to a creditable 7th on the leaderboard this week. 

At the top, the 49ers had a great week, and their fans posted the top score of the week giving themselves just a little breathing room in front of the Ravens who are still in hot pursuit. Of course, it’s still only week 6, there’s plenty of weeks still to go, and you the players can change everything as we enter Week 7! Show your support for your team & move them up the leaderboard by playing next week's game and setting the highest score you can. 

Our weekly special mention for this week's highest individual score on the leaderboard goes to the Ravens fan who posted a score of 17,710! Not only have you broken the Lions’ grip on the highest individual scores of the week, but you’ve also posted a score that is quite simply enormous. Congratulations on a mind-blowing score, and for taking the title of week six MVP!!
