We grabbed a big win last week against the Stallions. This week, feeling the hurt of players needing rest and injuries, the Galactics are pulling from the reserves to grab a young WR in Calvin Austin III. Coming in one a pinch, we hope Austin makes a mark on the team as we head cross country to Los Angeles. (yes, after we just made a trade with the team...QB Aaron Rodgers will join us on the plane back to Orlando). We hope to keep the winning going as we take on the Sabercats. #ORLvsLA2024 #startthecountdown #preparefortakeoff #yesRodgersIsBack

 

The Steelheads could not stop a dominant Bolts offense, as Buffalo handed us loss number four on the season. That drops us into a tie with Utah for the division lead, and we have to be cognizant that there's still a chance we could fall out of the playoffs entirely if these last two weeks go poorly. Unfortunately, our next game is once again on the road against the other 11-1 team, the Tennessee Copperheads, so we definitely have our work cut out for us. We're featuring DB Grant Delpit, who racked up 10 total tackles (6 solo) in part due to how many times Buffalo got into our secondary last week. #TipTheScales

The Destroyers pulled off another one! In a nail-biter, we took down San Antonio for our second straight win, moving to 3-9 on the season. Sure, it’s been a rough year, but beating both Texas teams in back-to-back weeks is fantastic, honestly. Now it’s off to Philly for our last road game of the season, where the 7-5 Brawlers are waiting. It’s going to be a tough matchup, but we’re ready to keep this streak alive. We’ll be suiting up in our classic navy helmets paired with our grey alternate jerseys and pants for this one. Our featured player this week is linebacker Jordan Hicks, who had a standout performance against the Phantoms: 1 sack, four assisted tackles, and two solo tackles. #KingsintheWest

Basically, we have 6 teams that could mathematically win the last two spots. Dallas, Philadelphia and Seattle are all 8-5, 1 game up on Kentucky, Orlando, and Portland. Kentucky, Orlando, and Portland need losses by 2 of the 3 8-5 teams, a win, and to have more points than the teams ending at 8-6. Dallas, Philadelphia, and Seattle could all win, and still have one miss the playoffs at 9-5. Dallas faces San Antonio, Philadelphia faces Buffalo, Seattle faces Portland, Kentucky faces Carolina, and Orlando faces Tennessee.

Tennessee, Buffalo, Chicago have clinched their divisions. Tennessee will be the 1 seed with a win over Orlando, a Buffalo loss to Philadelphia, or a loss, Buffalo win and maintain their points advantage (currently 157.6). Tennessee and Buffalo will be the 1 and 2 seeds, as if Chicago ties Buffalo, they lose the tiebreaker due to a head-to-head loss to Buffalo. Chicago can drop to the 4 see with a loss to Minnesota, a Utah win over Arizona, and Utah maintaining their points advantage (currently 91.9 points)

Utah, New York, Boston have NOT clinched playoff spots. Should one of them lose and all three 8-5 teams win, Seattle would be in by winning the West (due to head-to-head victory over Utah), the winner of Boston @ New York would be in, the other 4 teams would fill the other 3 playoff spots based on points.

Seattle and Utah are the only teams with three outcomes, they can win the West, get a Wild Card, or miss the playoffs entirely.

Only two games this week have no playoff implications: Los Angeles @ San Diego and St. Louis @ Kansas City.

We put Arizona to bed over Thanksgiving thanks to an excellent effort from our offense. We've already got the Central locked up, but our final divisional game against the Voyageurs will determine where we finish on the year. With a mess going on down below us to determine the final few playoff spots, we'll just chill on the road against Minnesota. For the final regular season game, we're featuring K Chase McLaughlin, who hit 4 for 5 field goals and 2 for 2 extra points last week. #BlownAway #WAFC
