Just to get to the championship game, the Fear Boners had to pull off two narrow victories. In both the quarter and semi-finals, Kelly turned in two key plays that led to his team moving on. In the quarterfinals, he had an enormous late touchdown that would ultimately be the winning TD as they won by 5.

In the semi-finals, Kelly picked off a pass in the end zone with less than a minute left to seal the six-point win. Unfortunately, the Fear Boners would fall in the championship game, but without Kelly's great night, they would not have had gotten as close as they did.
