WR Tony Oaks had caught a 5-yd pass from Norm Rayburn when he was hit by Phantoms LB Jerrell Pinard, and fumbled away the ball to CB Gavin Davis. The Game Ball Goes To... ...TE Edgar Johnson. The 6-5, 245-pounder had a rare game with 9 catches for an even 100 yds and a long gain of 36 yds.

Instead, the Sixpacks extended their lead with two FGs by K Paul Stephan. The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Teddy Woodard. It's scary to think that one of the best teams in the league appears to be developing a big-time running game as well. The rookie ran for 117 yds and a TD on only 19 carries, a 6.1 average.
1 2 3 4 T Detroit (4-1) 0 6 0 0 6 Final New York City (3-2) 0 0 0 0 0 POG: QB Freddie Mathias, DET 19/38, 193 Yds, 0 TD, 1 Int It was Over When... ...time expired, and Empire QB Kim Pace hadn't gotten the ball further than the Vampires' 46-yd line.

Provided a spark for the underperforming Bombers with 7 catches for 128 yds and a touchdown, the first time this season a Baltimore receiver has broken the century mark.
1 2 3 4 T El Paso (1-4) 0 7 9 0 16 Final Tulsa (2-2) 6 8 0 7 21 POG: CB Desmond Ward, TUL 8 tck, 2 asst, 2 int, 1 intTD It was Over When... ...the Rockets' QB Lorenzo threw a second interception in the fourth quarter to CB Graig Beaton with 2:22 left to play. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Ward. The Talons got a big play out of him when they best needed it, but the 6th-year safety had a very solid game overall, leading his team in tackles and had two picks.		1 2 3 4 T Huntington Beach (1-4) 0 7 17 10 34 Final Fargo (2-2-1) 7 7 0 0 14 POG: LB Tyrone Govan, HBE 9 tck, 3 asst, 1 int, 1 intTD It was Over When... ...the Boxcars found themselves trailing by 17 points after Otto Perry's 20-yd TD reception off a Sanford Hardesty pass.

That took the wind out of the Express and Joshua Urrutia. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Luster. Two touchdowns to WR Douglas Cowley and steady passing to carry the team when the running game didn't work as well.		1 2 3 4 T Oregon (3-2) 7 7 3 7 24 Final Honolulu (3-2) 3 3 0 8 14 POG: QB Landon Hurst, ORE 22/27, 206 Yds, 2 TD, 0 Int It was Over When... ...Hurst found Jarvis Huntsman in the end zone for a 5-yd TD pass with 1:07 to go in the fourth quarter. The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Rodger Rubinstein. With 153 yds rushing and a TD on 27 carries, and 37 yds on 6 receptions, the 9-yr veteran dominated this game for the Ice. He allowed the champs to control the clock and keep the ball away from Ronnie Tu.

The Game Ball Goes To... ...backup CB Chris Jones. The little-used reserve DB took an errant pass away from Kimber and returned it 24 yds for 6 points, tying the game at 23-23. The following extra point by Brady Stiehl was good enough for the lead, and the win.
1 2 3 4 T Tampa Bay (4-1) 7 10 0 7 24 Final New Orleans (1-4) 0 7 3 7 17 POG: DT Chris Weiland, TBY 5 tck, 4 ast, 2 sacks It was Over When... ...backup RB Edward Levy broke through with a 30-yd scamper for the winning score with only 58 seconds left, breaking the tie and the Breakers.
