If you just watched SportsCenter, you would think that Arena Football had replaced hockey as the 4th professional sport in America. Although they are getting better with the hockey highlights, since ESPN stopped airing hockey games their hockey coverage has been practically nonexistent. But their AFL coverage has been wall to wall.
Well, fine if you want to be like that, here's 10 seconds of AFL analysis.
New York lost 7-60. Clearly it was because they didn't establish the running game, 1 yard on 2 carries is not going to get the job done. They became one dimensional.
The Kansas City Brigade upset the defending champions Chicago Rush by...what else, running the ball. Chicago had 13 yards on 3 carries, while the Brigade has 131 rushing yards on 23 carries.
brigade (noun) A military unit consisting of a variable number of combat battalions or regiments. Go Brigade!
These games just reinforce what everyone knows about football: defense wins championships and you must run the ball!
