Week 9 started with Philadelphia in New Jersey has the Pride are hoping to finish the season strong but that didn't happen this week as the Barrage beat the Pride 16-11. League leading scorer John Grant Jr. from Rochester was injured this week and Matt Danowski from New Jersey will be his replacement. The next game is Denver at Los Angeles as the Riptide beat the Outlaws 16-6 as the Outlaws tide a franchise record for least amount of goals in one game, as a Denver Outlaws fan I have noticed that the Outlaws have a problem playing on the road and can play really well at home as they are undefeated as of right now but have only one win on the road. Next up is the battle of the worst team in West as the Chicago Machine and the San Francisco Dragons battled it out in the felid as the San Fran Dragons beat the Machine 17-14. Boston is trying to make a push to win the Eastern Division as they beat Long Island 13-12 by a last second goal by John Christmas as he dunked it over the goalie; the pass was over 60 yards and landed right in Christmas stick. The last game before the All Star game was Rochester home against Washington and the Rattlers beat the Bay Hawks to the ground 19-6. Here are the Standings.
