Slow day for the Purple team

As I get to the game it is about to begin. There are players on both teams warming up throwing the ball to each other looks like one is the quarterback. On the first play the Reds run it in for a touchdown. They also get their two point conversion. The purple team runs it up the gut twice in a roll for minimal yards but they do get a 15 yard penalty to help. The Reds seem like they are more advanced making tackles with ease while the purple team is having a hard time doing anything. Number 21 from the purple team is the running back he has long curly hair that comes out his helmet. He runs a sweep to the left and he gets tackled by two red players very aggressively. He doesn't get up and stays on the ground. The fans are upset and start yelling out, “Do something ref unnecessary roughness.” The game continues and he eventually gets up. The purple team had to punt the ball. I believe there is a lot of tension in the game because almost on every play there is a flag thrown. The purple team did better at stopping the Reds on defense. I think there was a timeout called because all the players go to their coach and huddle up. Number four runs it up the gut and he is halted by a defensive player who slams him to the ground and number four remains on the ground! The red team celebrates the great tackle by jumping up and down around the tackler. I noticed every time there is an injury both teams take a knee to show their respect. A paramedic even goes to assist the trainers already on the field.
