"Let's go!" !" screamed Madden Bowl pro player Rydell "Joke" Brito, who on Saturday won the Madden Bowl 2020 championship and $65,000 in prize money.

Joke's strategy of using only running plays in the Madden Bowl championship tournament sounds like a joke, but he clearly knew what he was doing. In the tournament, players draft teams with salary cap restrictions, but rather than spend big money on a talented quarterback, Joke instead drafted Washington punter Tres Way to play snaps. salary saved by skipping QB altogether. allowed Jokes to afford a strong offense and special ability defensive players; according to ESPN, Jokes also used the playbook of the run-focused Oakland Raiders offense and Miami's defense.

On offense, Jokes ran the ball on every play and dominated on defense, shutting out his opponent, Daniel "Docroft" Mycroft, without throwing a single pass in a 17-0 win.

I don't know how much a game in which one team doesn't pass once would satisfy the spectators, but the goal is to win, not to please the crowd. Players have won battle royal tournaments by avoiding combat and using bandages to recover and hide outside the final circle. It may not be the most thrilling thing to watch, but when money is on the line, W is what matters most.

Joke dedicated the win to his friend, pro-Madden player Taylor Robertson, who died in the 2018 shooting at the Madden tournament in Florida.
