Week 9 is in the books. Boston stayed undefeated. Pittsburgh got their first win of the year in a blowout of the Brass. Randall Cunningham and the Las Vegas Ace are starting to look like a contender.
The top of the divisions look pretty much the same after week 9’s results. Some teams have started to shuffle into the 3rd place playoff position in each division, including perennial powers Philadelphia, Tampa, and Oakland and newcomer Oklahoma.
We hope you continue to be entertained by the on field action at the USFL. We have 11 more weeks to go in the season and then we are on to the playoffs! See you next week!
