On Thursday night, the Arena Football League canceled the Week 18 game between the New Orleans VooDoo and the Las Vegas Outlaws. A statement made by the AFL really shed no light on why the game was being canceled, how the game was going to show up in the standings or what it was going to mean to the playoff picture. There are really only two resolutions at this point that the league can take, though. Either the ownerless Outlaws need to be shut down immediately, or they need to be barred from the postseason.

The 2013 season was a roller coaster for the Spokane Shock. They started hot with a five-game winning streak and then cooled considerably with a three-game losing streak. They rebounded and finished the season on a 10-1 run to finish the regular season with a 14-4 record. They won a nail-biter against the now-defunct Chicago Rush in their opening playoff game followed by a crushing defeat to the Arizona Rattlers. Their sights are still set on the ArenaBowl for 2014.

Since Week 1, the Philadelphia Soul have allowed only the Jacksonville Sharks to score more than 50 points in a game. The defense has been very strong so far this season and may not even be at their peak yet.

On a night new head coach Lawrence Samuels called overwhelming, the Tampa Bay Storm were able to grind out a 62-57 win over the division rival New Orleans VooDoo.

How about that third quarter? Thanks to great defensive line play, turnover mojo, and a Jacksonville implosion, the San Jose SaberCats turned what was a competitive game into a laugher in just 15 minutes in ArenaBowl XXVIII.
