Thanks to some first-rate shenanigans by DB Kenny Moore (which included 2 pick-sixes off of Jordan Love), the Cyclones took down the Steelheads and rose to 5-4, getting over .500 for the first time all year. We're still in the hunt for a playoff spot, and we'll see if we can rise above our setbacks this week to get another win against the San Diego Destroyers at home. The Destroyers are in a similar spot to us, who need a win to gain possession of the West Division lead. The offensive struggles were real last week, though thankfully K Chase McLaughlin realized that this week was Kicker Week™, and hit 3/3 on field goals (from 35, 49, and 55 yards out) and 4/4 on extra points to make him this week's featured player. The regular home uniforms of white/red/tan/red will be brought out once again for another entertaining game (depending on your definition). #StormWatch

 

And with that, the AltFL 2023 Knockout season has come to an end. And because we just couldn't end like any normal week, this week came down to a tiebreaker. The magic number was 154, and thanks to the New York Emperors and the shenanigans of Joey Bosa, Dire has won this year's knockout. Congratulations!

Thanks to everyone who participated!

LAST WEEK: The Galactics are headed North to take on the Buffalo Bolts. TE Dalton Schultz had a slow start to the season, but he has started to get comfortable in the Galactics' offence and he is featured in this week's graphic. Jersey wise we are going with white above the waist and then orange pants and purple socks below. #GoGalactics #ORLvsBUF2023 #startthecountdown #preparefortakeoff


THIS WEEK: 
With another big win over the Bolts, the Galactics are now 7-2 and sit atop the South Division. This week we are taking on the 4-5 Portland Grizzlies. It's a long trip out to the Pacific North West, but the Galactics are ready to roll, especially with the man, the myth, the legend, K Younghoe KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That's right it's kicker week baby. Koo is modelling a classic road set with a purple helmet, pants, and socks with our white uniforms. #GoGalactics #ORLvsPOR2023 #startthecountdown #preparefortakeoff 

The Steelheads failed to pull off the upset in Dallas, and fall to 3-7, having dropped 6 of their last 7. We return home to Seattle, where we welcome the Minnesota Voyageurs, who are limping in with a league-worst 1-9 record. The way I see it, we either get a win in front of our home fans, or we lose and get that much closer to the top pick in the draft next year. It's a win-win! Or I guess a win-lose. So it's just like any other game. Specifically for this one, we're featuring WR Tyler Boyd, who surprisingly was QB Jordan Love's favorite target against the Bandits, as the two connected for 117 yards.

Let's go! The Destroyers did it again! We claimed our second consecutive win by demolishing (I feel like there's a better word that would fit there, but oh well) the Cyclones in Chicago, and now we're back to .500 on the year. Now we look to go back over .500 for the second time this season as we prepare to host those spooky bois from Kansas City. It should be an intense game as both the Destroyers and Scarecrows are coming in with a record of 5-5 on the season. The Destroyers are ready to roll on KF11 Field at Oceanside Stadium with our featured player, wide receiver Chris Olave, who caught a touchdown pass and racked up 94 yards receiving in last week's win, leading the charge. Oh, and let's not forget our uniform combo for this week - navy helmets and jerseys, along with the grey pants.  #BattleReady #SDvsKC
