Gold 20 Wheels 13
Denver stays undefeated in 1985 as they jumped out to an early 17-0 lead, then held on for the W. The Gold maintain their 2 game West Division lead over Oakland.
Outlaws 16 Blitz 3
Sports books lost their shirt on this game as the Blitz came in 5-0 while the Outlaws were 0-5. Oklahoma held Chicago to 115 total offensive yards and held the ball for just over 36 minutes.
Bandits 34 VooDoo 28
This game was not as close as the score indicates as the Bandits jumped out to an early 14-0 lead on 2 Melvin Diggers TD passes to Thomas Whitley. New Orleans would not get closer than 7 until late 4th qtr, when they cut it to the final margin. The Bandits ran out all but the last 44 seconds, which wasn't enough time for the VooDoo.
Gamblers 30 Hawaiians 6
Houston HC Dana Hicks deserves a game ball for whatever he said at halftime. The undefeated defending champs were only leading 7-6 at the break, before scoring 23 unanswered 2nd half points for the easy win. FS Rick Edwards started the flurry off with this pick six.
SaberCats 23 Sun 17
San Jose gets their first win of 1985 against division rival Southern California as QB Gregory Skidmore threw for 401 yards, including this bomb on their first offensive play.
Generals 19 Renegades 7
Generals owner raidergreg69 has been trying to avoid injuries on all his MFN teams and one piece of advice backfired in this game. The starters were taken off the Gunner team and we gave up a TD, which has happened in other leagues too. QB Ric Flair leads the USFL with an 80% completion percentage.
Bell 16 Blazers 10
Despite being out gained 312-201, Philadelphia gets the win thanks to winning the turnover battle 5-0.
Federals 22 Steamer 0
Washington put it to Shreveport in this game, out gaining them 411-173. Midway through the 1st qtr, Federals QB Joe Richardson found Luther Ellis for a 74 yard TD and never looked back. At 5-1, Washington is a legitimate contender, though they may not even win their division.
Stallions 34 Maulers 0
Birmingham put it to Pittsburgh in this game, out gaining them 470-141. On the second play from scrimmage, Stallions QB David Schmitt found Leonard Robles for a 68 yard TD and never looked back. At 5-1, Birmingham is also a legitimate contender, and has an important division game vs Georgia in Week 7.
Force 24 Breakers 9
This was a pretty even game statistically, but Georgia won this game in the red zone and a big special teams play.
Express 19 (NY) Stars 17
New York turned over a chance to keep pace with New Jersey in the East. The Stars gained just more than a football field of yardage than Los Angeles, but 3 INT's were too much to overcome. Express K Roger Ruzich, formerly of New Jersey, would love to stick it to his former team again (LA defeated NJ in Week 3) but revenge must wait.
Stars 24 Thunderbolts 6
Baltimore is off to another great start in 1985 as they run their record to 6-0. The Stars did it with offense and defense.
Panthers 37 Hornets 10
Michigan used 5 turnovers to sting the Hornets in Charlotte.
Showboats 24 Wranglers 12
Memphis is the American Conference version of Washington. They are a strong 5-1 but are blocked in the division by defending champs Houston.
Invaders 20 Gunslingers 14
Oakland won a sloppy, turnover filled game thanks to limiting San Antonio to just 129 yards of offense.
Storm 7 Bulls 0
This is the only score of the game.
