Coming off a big win at home in the Penguin jersey set over the Steelheads, we head south to take on the Bandits. They're dealing with an injury to starting quarterback Kyler Murray, but they still have quite a bit of talent on their side of the ball, including former Emperors Jameson Williams, Jake Elliott, and Rhamondre Stevenson. We're getting healthier and may see the return of CeeDee Lamb and/or Terry McLaurin, but we'll keep leaning on our running back duo of Christian McCaffrey and Jonathan Taylor. We'll be in the yellow helmets, white jerseys and white pants for this one, and are featuring our first defensive lineman on the season in Jordan Davis. He had 6 tackles last week and a big sack of Steelheads QB Jordan Love! #LiveFromNewYork

We played our best in a defensive battle for the ages, but the Steelheads just eeked out the win to hand us our second loss on the year. This year appears to be different in the Central, as three teams are within a game of each other and two of them are tied for the division lead. One of those teams is us, and the other are our opponents this week- the Kansas City Scarecrows. They've had a great turnaround over the past few years and are determined to win the division, being the only team since 2020 to not win the Central title. It'll be hard with our third straight road game, but our defense has been on point recently, including S Tykee Smith, who totaled 13 tackles (8 solo) and a sack against Seattle last week. 

With a huge win over the Bandits last week, we head back home to face division foes Buffalo. The Bolts and Emperors have some history, with the infamous Eli Manning refusing to play for the Emperors so we drafted him and traded him to Buffalo for Phillip Rivers and multiple draft picks. It seems to have worked out for both of us, but now it's a new era, with Josh Allen leading them into the Polo Grounds to face Jalen Hurts and the Emperors. We'll be in all yellow for this one, as it is Night at the Museum Night, where we're handing out T-Rex skeleton bobbleheads of AMNH 5027 from the American Museum of Natural History here in New York! Our featured player had as much destruction as one would expect if there was a T-Rex on the football field, as Will Anderson Jr. had himself a day with a strip sack where he recovered the football himself and ran it in for a touchdown! #LiveFromNewYork

The Destroyers keep rolling as a big win in Seattle bumps us up to 5-3 and keeps that perfect divisional record intact. It doesn't matter that the Steelheads have had our number for the last few years; this time, we flipped the script and came out on top in the Emerald City. Now, it's back home to Oceanside Stadium for a 2 game homestand and up first is a showdown with the Utah Raptors, who just dropped one to our SoCal rivals, the LA Sabercats. We'll be suiting up in navy helmets, navy jerseys, and grey pants, looking to keep the momentum going. Tee Higgins was a key piece in last week's win, hauling in a touchdown and 44 yards through the air, and we'll look to him again to have a great performance against the Raptors this week to stay perfect in the division. #WaveOfDestruction
