On November 2^nd, Members of Congress and the Capitol Hill Police gathered for the 5^th Biennial Congressional Football Game. The game, which benefited Our Military Kids and the Capitol Police Memorial Fund, was won by the Capitol Hill Police 27-14.

The Capitol Hill Police put up 27 unanswered points early thanks to a passing game led by MVP Officer Reggie Tyson and a solid defense, which recorded a TD off an interception. In the second half the Mean Machine fought back, led by Rep. Heath Shuler, and his fellow co-captains, Rep. Jon Runyan and Rep. Bill Shuster. The Members of Congress notched two touchdowns late in the game to conclude the night with a 27-14 score line. Rep. Donna Edwards received the MVP nod for the Mean Machine.

The Organizing Committee would like to thank all of the sponsors for the event, especially the NFL and Boeing. Also the Committee wants to thank all of the former NFL players who participated in the game and hopes to see every back at the Congressional Football Game in 2013.
