Sharks 34 Colonels 32
TAMPA, FL--The Tampa Bay Sharks, like last year, won't be headed to the playoffs, but also like last year they're going to take someone down along the way. And once again in week 16 it was the Independence division champion Carolina Colonels.
Drew Lock threw two interceptions in a game for the first time this season but also threw a pair of touchdown passes to Elijah Moore, including an electrifying 75-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter, and the defense bowed up in the final two minutes to deny Carolina a comeback win as the Sharks beat the Colonels 34-32, meaning Carolina now not only doesn't control their destiny but will need Columbus to lose out and possibly Chicago to lose a game (in addition to their own victory in week 17) to clinch home field in the Eastern Conference championship game.
The Colonels struck first on a long touchdown pass from Kyle Trask to Trey Palmer, but wouldn't reach the endzone again until early in the fourth, when they trailed 27-19. Trask threw his second touchdown pass of the day, a 34-yarder to Ben Sims, pulling Carolina to within 27-25. But tying two-point attempt was unsuccessful as Gus Edwards was knocked out of bounds just before stretching the ball across the plane. Lock hit Moore again from nine yards out to make it a nine-point game, and after Jerome Ford lost two on fourth and 1 from the Tampa Bay 16 the Sharks had an opportunity to close it out. They went three-and-out however and Carolina quickly got down the field, his third touchdown of the day, a 15-yarder to Hunter Renfrow, drew Carolina to within two.
Then the Colonels looked like they were going to steal it after being outplayed for most of the second half as Trask hit Sage Surratt for 28 as the clock hit two-minute warning. The Sharks got the big defensive play they were looking for as after Gus Edwards picked up three, Da'Shawn Hand sacked Trask to put the Colonels in third and long. Clark Phillips, who had his seventh pick of the season, two behind league leader Jamar Summers, made a great play to deny a pass intended for Tee Higgins, and on fourth and 13 Trask went deep to Palmer, who had it for a brief moment (and would have put Carolina easily in range for a relative chipshot to win the game) but lost it when he hit the ground. De'Veon Smith ran for 16 on the next play to start draining the Colonels of their timeouts and preserve the win, avenging an ugly 37-0 loss in Raleigh in week six which Nathan Peterman played for an injured Lock.
The Colonels scored just one touchdown in nine trips to the redzone in suffering their first consecutive losses since they began the season 0-2, also taking their first loss within the division. The Sharks, winners of six of their last eight since starting 2-5, finish 4-1 at home in that stretch.

Glory 42 Enforcers 27
WASHINGTON, DC--One almost gets the feeling that, after allowing Taylor Heinicke of all people to complete all 22 of his passes, the Glory took it personally this week. And so the team that did that has now embarrassed the two teams who will go into week 17 fighting for a playoff spot at home in primetime.
Bailey Zappe completed all seven pass attempts in the first quarter on the way to 21 of 23 with three touchdowns, and Kalen Ballage went over 100 yards as the Washington run game produced 193 yards and three scores in a 42-27 laugher over the Chicago Enforcers Saturday night at Audi Field, snapping a three-game skid.
In a span of 2:15 the Glory went from down 7-0 to up 14-7 as Zappe threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Ihmir Smith-Marsette, then after a bad snap by Taybor Pepper went over Johnny Hekker's head for a loss of 20 Washington went ahead on the very next play as Zappe hit Michael Mayer for the score. Gardner Minshew then capped a wild back-and-forth opening quarter with a 14-yard scoring pass to Cole Hikutini, his first catch as an Enforcer and first touchdown in three years. But after Jonathan Garibay hit from 42 to put Chicago back on top with 5:05, it was all Glory.
Ballage's first of two touchdown runs put the Glory up four with 31 seconds left until halftime, then after Garibay missed a 58-yarder to end the half Washington went 68 yards in seven plays to begin the third quarter, and Ballage's second score made it 28-17. After a Chicago punt the Glory then began to put some distance between them as Zappe dialed up Smith-Marsette again and connected again, from 30 yards as Washington went up 35-17.
Garibay's second field goal cut it back to two scores, and Rex Ryan hoped to get something out of his defense, but no luck as the Glory were back in the endzone less than two minutes later, highlighted by a 57-yard Ballage run, and Kevin Harris did the honors to give the Glory their biggest lead at 42-20 before Minshew connected with Allen Lazard for 50 yards, Lazard's first touchdown in a season he missed the first half coming back from a knee injury, for the last score of the night.
In home games against the Enforcers and Capitols the Glory came out with their best, they smoked Columbus for 606 yards and while they actually were outgained here by 12 yards they were five of six in the redzone as they made a huge dent in the Liberty race. Columbus now only has to win once in their last two games--the other coming strangely enough against Washington next week at Ohio Stadium.
Minshew was 25 of 35 for 316 yards with three touchdowns and an interception as the Enforcers will go back home for their regular season finale either with the playoff spot in hand or fighting for it.

Hitmen 37 Capitols 35
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ--The Columbus Capitols were presented with a golden opportunity, a win would clinch their first-ever Liberty division championship, instead it'll have to wait another week. The Hitmen, the only team of the four eastern contenders to win this weekend, made week 17 about as much of winner-take-all as you can get. Garrett Gilbert threw for 308 yards and three touchdowns and Kenneth Walker added 66 yards and a rushing touchdown as well as the Hitmen kept right in the thick of the playoff picture with a 37-35 win Sunday at MetLife Stadium over the division leaders.
The upstarts weren't successful, but they showed plenty of moxie as they chipped away at a 34-16 deficit after Graham Gano hit from 54 early in the fourth. Will Levis, who took a beating playing a patchwork offensive line that sent two starters to IR this week, threw for a career-high 417 yards and did everything he could to rally the Capitols to the win. It didn't take long for Columbus to get back in the game as Levis hit Johnnie Dixon, just his second catch of the year, for a 41-yard score and then, on fourth-and-15, a 43-yard bomb to Taysir Mack, leading to a nine-yard Breece Hall run to pull the Capitols to within five as the two-point conversion was no good.
After a Gano field goal made it 37-29 with 2:58 left, the Capitols came up clutch twice: first as Levis hit Tre Turner for 18 on fourth and 6 to keep the drive going, and on third and 9 from the 18 he pulled it and took it in himself--his fourth rushing touchdown of the year, setting the stage for the tying two-point try. But a screen to Tarik Cohen was blown up by Tre Brown, forcing another fourth-and-15 try, which Levis ended up having to run for after inadvertently crossing the line of scrimmage, and he was well short.
Columbus ended up getting one last play from their own 24 with seven seconds left, but Levis once again had no chance and the Hitmen survived an almost-exact reverse of their week five matchup, which saw the Capitols get out to a 17-0 lead before the Hitmen stormed back and the two traded blows from there, with a Tanner Brown 26-yard walkoff winning it for Columbus.
The Capitols return to the Horseshoe with a chance to nail down both the Liberty title and a home spot in the Eastern Conference championship game. The Hitmen will go to Chicago to play the Enforcers in what will be their second win-and-in on the final day of the season in three years, with an outside shot at both the Liberty and even homefield.

Rage 31 Bolts 19
BIRMINGHAM, AL--Nothing like consistency.
In a year that's been anything but for the Rage, they at least did one thing consistent with another; just like when they beat the Bolts 31-19 in Orlando in week nine, they beat the Bolts again 31-19 in their home finale.
Brad Kaaya threw four touchdown passes, three to James Mitchell, as Orlando started from behind midway through the first quarter on a Taylor Heinicke touchdown pass to Jonathan Mingo, but when they took the lead early in the second quarter they never relinquished it. The Bolts got to within a point on a Brandon Aubrey field goal, but after an ill-fated onside kick to begin the second half Orlando stretched the lead to eight on a 32-yard scoring pass from Kaaya to Jalen Tolbert and kept a comfortable lead from that point on.
A.J. McCarron, a question mark with a shoulder injury, played in what may be his final XFL game as he came in for Heinicke as the latter took a shot to his back from Anthony Nelson. The crowd, somewhat up from the Bolts' last three-game stretch undoubtedly knowing their final chance to see the Tide legend, was ready to explode in the third quarter when McCarron got the Bolts deep into the redzone. But the storybook moment never materialized as his pass was tipped by Shaun Wade and picked off by Tae Crowder, who took it back 59 yards. The interception only led to a Jose Borregales field goal, but the damage was done, and McCarron's day, and possibly career, would last three more plays before he looked to reinjure his shoulder on a 13-yard completion to Isaiah Likely. Heinicke, not quite the perfectionist he was last week in D.C. although he did go 17 of 22, came back and led the Bolts' scoring drive, as Sincere McCormick took it from four yards out. The lead stayed at five as Heinicke tried to go to A.T. Perry, who was blanketed.
A 93-yard Orlando drive, highlighted at the beginning by a 24-yard pass from Kaaya, out of his own endzone, to Juwann Winfree, took the remaining energy out of the crowd. Heinicke tried to rally the Bolts for one more score, which would have been followed by a fourth-and-15 attempt, but Nelson kept him a yard short of the endzone on fourth and goal from the 5.
Darrel Williams ran 19 times for 101 yards, becoming the third Bolt to register a 100-yard game this season, along with IR-ridden Damien Harris and Keaton Mitchell. Mingo, who never really got going this year, missing six games at midseason with a concussion, had 103 yards on six receptions for his first 100-yard game. The Bolts held a near 17-minute time-of-possession advantage. Birmingham finished just 1-7 at Protective Stadium after a decent .500 finish in 2023.

Monarchs 27 Lonestars 13
ARLINGTON, TX--If there's one thing you can count on in this league, it's that when the Monarchs go to Dallas, it's going to be ugly.
Which, with the exception of a pair of shootouts in 2020-21, has been the case. Unfortunately for the Lonestars, they haven't had any better luck defending the homefront against the league's final bosses--they haven't won since 2015 at Texas Stadium. For the first time since 2012, the Monarchs picked up a double-digit win, as all the Lonestars' scoring was confined to the second quarter in a 27-13 Kansas City win, as the Monarchs continue to press towards a bye and hosting the Western Conference championship.
Luis Perez got the start in the Lonestars' last outing of the year in front of the home folks. They got a scoreless first quarter, which was helped along by two Dallas turnovers and a rare Monarch failure on downs. Dallas took the opening kickoff and drove to the 10, but Perez got too cute and was picked off by Levi Wallace in the endzone. On their next series, Perez bobbled the snap and Andre Carter recovered. But Keenum, who had earlier converted a fourth and inches via sneak, went to the well again only for Greg Gaines to stonewall him.
The Monarchs forgot about all that and broke the stalemate as Keenum hit Odell Beckham in stride for a 28-yard touchdown, that seemed to get Dallas going too as Albert Okwuegbunam caught a pass from Perez down the seam for a 57-yard touchdown. The Monarchs kept the lead though as Riq Woolen blocked the Andre Szmyt extra point. It ended up being a bit of back-and-forth as Keenum hit Kareem Hunt for a 15-yard score, followed by a long touchdown from Perez to Jequez Ezzard. But then the Monarchs' defense, tested out in the last few weeks with some hit-or-miss moments, was hitting in the second half.
Kansas City opened the second half with a Nick Folk field goal, and after a pair of punts, Woolen came around again with his first interception of the season, leading to another field goal for a 20-13 lead. More punts followed, as the Monarchs would have a very uncharacteristic -2 yards on their next two drives (though one was via a penalty) before they delivered the knockout punch, with Sean Tucker taking it in from two yards out.
Keenum was just 18 of 33 for 195 yards, and left for a play (which Vernon Adams completed a 19-yard screen pass to Tucker). Hunt and Tucker led the run as the Monarchs, already out Zack Moss (forearm), also lost Michael Carter with a groin injury. But Hunt had his best game, rushing 17 times for 75 yards and catching ten passes for 77 yards. Tucker added 56 yards on seven carries.
Javonte Williams, who torched the Monarchs for 105 yards on just ten carries in week five, carried 17 times for 89 yards. The Lonestars have now lost eleven games in a season for the first time ever, surpassing their 4-10 mark of 2012 (albeit in a 14-game season).

Stallions 38 Demons 31
ST. LOUIS, MO--The St. Louis Stallions did three things in their home finale: they snapped a four-game losing streak; they clinched a winning record at home; and, although there were probably heavy reservations about this, they clinched home field for the hated Monarchs. Jarrett Stidham threw for 352 yards and three touchdowns and, playing together for the first time since week five, Jonathan Taylor and Rhamondre Stevenson both had touchdowns, as the Stallions upset the Demons 38-31 Sunday at The Dome, also snapping a six-game losing streak to San Francisco.
Amidst questions of whether Stidham should even have been playing the final two games after the Stallions were eliminated from the playoffs last week, that and being sacked a league-high 57 times, he merely went to work, and St. Louis ended up with their most efficient half of football this season, scoring on three of their four drives. Even after a potential backbreaking 99-yard drive by San Francisco late in the first half put them back on top as Kyle Lauletta hit Christian Watson, Stidham calmly led them 65 yards in seven plays for the game-tying field goal by Matthew Wright.
The Stallions were just as good in the second half, scoring on their first three drives, as Taylor and Stevenson both rushed for scores on drives that combined to burn up nearly 17 minutes of clock. Yet the Demons nearly broke the momentum again, this time as Marcell Ateman got free down the left sideline and Lauletta hit him for a 61-yard score. Instead of the 4th and 15 that's become all the rage this year the Demons went for an onside kick, and actually nearly ended up with it, but it ricocheted off the hands of Hakeem Adeniji and was recovered by Steve Avila. St. Louis kept it on the ground with their powerful rush duo and picked up two first downs to run out the clock.
Lauletta threw four touchdown passes, and with his last to Ateman he became the first quarterback in league history to throw 50 touchdowns in a season. With home field now decided and the Demons locked into a home game against the wildcard winner Sam Howell could start next week in Seattle after Lauletta took a shot from Eric Black on his first touchdown pass although he stayed in the game.

Mission 34 Xtreme 27
SAN DIEGO, CA--The San Diego Mission's first win in their history against their I-5 rivals was also a notable one, they surpassed their four-win total of last year and did it in classic thriller-style. Darrius Shepherd returned a kickoff 99 yards for the go-ahead touchdown late in the third quarter, and Josh Jobe swatted away a Desmond Ridder pass on fourth and 3 from the San Diego 9 with seconds left in the 34-27 win over the Xtreme at SnapDragon Stadium Sunday.
Los Angeles was zooming along to start the game, scoring on their first three possessions until Ridder's season-long bugaboo manifested itself when he was picked off by Cam Smith. San Diego went six plays the other way and tied the game on a Jaren Hall touchdown pass to Phillip Lindsay. Then in the third quarter they took the lead on Hall's third touchdown pass, an 11-yarder to Jaivon Heiligh.
The Xtreme tied it on a Roschon Johnson touchdown before Shepherd put the Mission back on top 12 seconds later with the first kickoff return for a score a team history. A Cameron Dicker field goal brought Los Angeles to within four, and San Diego was driving for a knockout blow when Hall was intercepted by Jack Sanborn. The Mission returned the favor when Ridder was picked off for the second time, this one by Andrew Wingard, and the Mission turned it into a Greg Zuerlein field goal to set up the final 4:19.
Jason Huntley brought the ball back near the 40, and after a rough start the Xtreme moved the sticks as Ridder hit Khalil Shakir for 19, then two plays later he hit Parker Washington for 16 as the Xtreme were poised to tie the game. But two runs that went nowhere and a short pass to Johnson set up the fateful fourth and 3, as Jobe reached back to knock the ball away and prevent a likely touchdown pass to Washington, signaling celebration time. The win marked just their second time winning consecutive home games--they won their most recent before a three-game roadtrip.
The Xtreme ended up with 503 yards of offense despite playing without both Darrell Henderson and Michael Pittman, but were done in by not just the two interceptions but also just one touchdown in their last four trips to the redzone.

Stampede 20 Reign 16
SAN ANTONIO, TX--The Seattle Reign did so much in getting from an 0-5 start to the doorstep of clinching a playoff spot that it was a shock they had as much difficulty as they did closing the deal, and as a result their playoff hopes will extend to week 17 after the Stampede did just enough in the battle of the backups for a 20-16 win Sunday night at the Alamodome.
The Stampede turned the ball over four times, yet the Reign converted those just ten points. Even worse, they blew a huge opportunity leading 10-7 late in the second quarter when Chris Payton-Jones blew up Marquez Stevenson as he was about to field a punt, and Isaiah Prince's recovery put Seattle just outside the redzone. But Jordan Ta'amu was sacked by Brian Branch on the first play, and Mike Zimmer seemed to be in points mode after that as Jamaal Williams ran twice, only there were no points to be had as Matt McCrane was wide left from 41. Then it was the Josh Gordon show.
Kaleb Eleby, who performed slightly better of the two backups--though he threw two interceptions, hit him for 11 on the next play, then Gordon made a leaping catch for 32 down to the 20. San Antonio faced a third and 11 and it was his time again, as Eleby hit him for 14 and then two plays later went to, who else, for the touchdown with just six seconds left. Gordon had nearly half his output--he tied his season-high with nine catches--on that drive, catching four passes for 70 yards.
That would be the final touchdown of the game as the Reign just couldn't get over the hump. Trailing 17-13 in the fourth quarter Zimmer contemplated a fourth and 6 from the 9 before taking the points. Seattle did force a three-and-out and got the ball back, but Ta'amu couldn't get anything going downfield and Joseph Ossai hauled Jamaal Williams down just short of a first down on a fourth and 4 pass. Not quite being able to run out the clock, San Antonio added a field goal with just seconds left, although Joe Lombardi acknowledged the risk of a blocked kick and return in the postgame.
David Montgomery, who had a huge game in week five, had another big one, rushing for 122 yards on 25 carries. He also threw an interception as the Stampede tried a halfback pass in the third quarter, two of the three interceptions were in the endzone. Eleby finished 22 of 35 for 269 yards.
Ta'amu was off to a fairly solid start but faltered late, missing eight of nine throws at a crucial point as the Reign were trying to grab the lead. He finished just 15 of 28 for 120 yards. The Reign welcomed back David Ojabo, who had two sacks in his first game since week two.
But now Seattle faces a slightly more difficult task in getting to the playoffs as they host division champion San Francisco, with Ta'amu under center again, while the Stampede, who go to 6-1 at the Alamodome, faces a St. Louis team just 1-6 away from their dome. A San Antonio win and a Seattle loss puts the Stampede in the playoffs, an idea which seemed all but dead three weeks ago.
