Weird week of AFL football. The road team won seven of nine games. The last winless team beat a previously unbeaten. Chicago, Orlando and San Jose all overcame 14-0 deficits against former af2 teams to win. Four winners failed to reach 50 points. The last two ArenaBowl champs are both 1-4. And Rod Windsor's back!
Thanks to a loss by Chicago last Sunday, the San Jose SaberCats clinched their first playoff berth since losing in ArenaBowl XXII in 2008 and this Saturday will conclude their regular season against Iowa. San Jose has a bye in Week 20 and gets a week off before the playoffs begin.
