The playoff teams are all set. Chicago and Cleveland won their respective divisions, while Georgia, Orlando and Spokane clinched playoff berths. Jacksonville has dropped three straight and San Jose failed to reach the postseason for the first time since 1999. The defending champion Shock pulled off a miracle last-second play to sneak into the playoffs after starting the season 4-7. There's a lot to cover in the first Week 19 in AFL history so buckle up.

The 2015 AFL regular season is said and done with, and as is the case each and every year, many records have been set and milestones have been reached.

After back-to-back bye weeks, I'm back with more breakdowns, more history and more AFL than anywhere else. Arizona won the West, Jacksonville won a record tying 12th straight, Tommy Grady tossed ten TDs again, Derrick Ross set the single-season rushing record (without apparently anyone knowing about it), Tampa Bay evened the War on I-4 and a few more thousand words to fill the void until Week 16 kicks off. Breaking it Down is back!

Although nobody knew exactly what head coach Lawrence Samuels would get out of his team in the first couple weeks of a new season, the results are just what everyone hoped for. The Tampa Bay Storm, now 2-0 for the first time since 2008, used an impressive defensive effort on Friday night to shock the Talons 48-45 in the closing seconds.

The Orlando Predators promised their fans that they are going to win games this year, and it appears as though they are ready to go to the ends of the earth to make that happen. Earlier this week, the team relieved Offensive Coordinator Chris Siegfried of his duties.

When I received the announcement last week that the Tampa Bay Storm would be changing their logo and uniform, I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive. As someone who has been a fan of the Storm and the Arena Football League since they first moved to the area in 1991 from Pittsburgh, I had no idea what to expect.

Anyone who has followed my writing over the years knows how much of a fan I am of clock management. I harped on Jay Gruden about it seemingly each and every week when he was coaching the Orlando Predators, and I have written articles about how to manage the clock in the past. On Friday night though, my ire is with Steve Thonn of the Cleveland Gladiators, who watched his team get demolished 69-48 at the Tampa Bay Times Forum in front of 8,686 fans.

Streaks ended in Week 17. San Jose, Iowa and New Orleans ended multi-game losing skids. Jacksonville's 13-game winning streak ended and Chicago reached the playoffs for the tenth straight year. Three quarterbacks passed for nine touchdowns (Davila, Garcia and Grieb). This and much more awaits in the most comprehensive breakdown of AFL action anywhere in the universe.

2014 read like a fairy tale for the Cleveland Gladiators. A previously moribund franchise went on the run of a lifetime, finishing 17-1 and hosting the ArenaBowl in front of a near-sellout crowd.
