The Wheels shut down the Chicago Blitz, 20-6, to move into the top wild-card spot in the American Conference. Detroit's defense forced four Chicago turnovers. Wheels FS Robbie Hammock made eight tackles, intercepted a pass, and recovered a fumble.
The Generals took over the top wild-card spot in the National Conference with a 27-7 rout of the Oklahoma Outlaws. New Jersey won its fifth in a row. QB Stephen Labelle hit Kenneth Williams with a 30-yard TD pass to give the Generals a 24-7 halftime lead. Oklahoma star WR Dusty Heckman was limited to a season-low 25 yards receiving.
The American Conference playoff race is, a word, insane. Nine teams are within the 7-4 to 5-6 range. Only the Cleveland Thunderbolts (11-0), Oklahoma Outlaws (9-2) and Detroit (8-3) can feel relatively good about themselves at this stage.
Five teams in the National Conference seem to be preparing for the posteason. Five other teams, however, are within one game of the lone remaining wild-card spot. The Florida Blazers, New Orleans VooDoo, Baltimore Stars, Orlando Renegades, and Philadelphia Bell are all either 6-5 or 5-6.
In other Week 11 games:
- Portland Storm QB William Hill threw an 83-yard TD pass to John Sanders in the fourth quarter, but Arizona stopped the 2-point conversion attempt and the Wranglers escaped with a 31-29 win.
- The Oakland Invaders halted their four-game losing streak and pulled into a first-place tie in the West Division with Portland after escaping with a 27-25 victory over the Denver Gold. Lester Reed's 25-yard field goal with 2:47 to play put the Invaders on top and a Philip Shurtz interception with 54 seconds to play sealed the outcome.
- The San Antonio Gunslingers are back in the postseason chase, thanks to Tony Smith's 567 passing yards and Marshall Gibson's 299 receiving yards during a 43-37 overtime win over the Memphis Showboats. Memphis kicker James Ewing booted a 52-yard field goal as regulation time expired to force OT, but the Showboats fumbled on their second play from scrimmage and Travis Tucker ran 2 yards for the game-ending TD six plays later.
- Washington Federals QB Joe Richardson passed for 654 yards and seven TDs during a 53-37 shootout victory for the Federals against the Boston Breakers. Washington RDE John Broussard was credited with 18 hurries.
- The Pittsburgh Maulers extended their win streak to six games with a 19-10 win over the New Orleans VooDoo. Scott Deal's 56-yard pass to Eric Metcalf accounted for the only Maulers TD. New Orleans SS Troy Tomas had 11 tackles, a fumble recovery, and an interception.
- The Los Angeles Express took over the Pacific Division lead by shutting out the Honolulu Hawaiians, 30-0. The LAX defense limited the Hawaiians to 151 net yards as Carlos Turner made six tackles, recovered a fumble, and had one of the team's five interceptions.
