BREAKDOWN
It's a tight race among the four top teams in the Eastern Conference and Massachusetts is right in the thick of it. The Pirates are in a tie for third place currently, but just a half game back of the Quad City Steamwheelers for second, which would give them home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs (Quad City currently owns the tiebreaker, but that could change during the second half of the season. The Pirates are winners of their last two games. They score 47.0 points per game (sixth) and allow 45.3 (eighth).

BREAKDOWN
Iowa is finding its 2023 season slipping away; if it hasn't already. The Barnstormers have yet to put up a win this season, though they recently have shown a bit more competitiveness. Facing the Pirates for the second time this season won't be an easy task, but if the ball bounces their way they could find some success. The Pirates are missing their top two tacklers; something which could open the door for opportunity on offense for Iowa. They score 35.0 points per game (14th in IFL) and allow 49.9 (12th).
LEADERS
Passing - Zach Reader 48/88, 376 yds, 6 TD, 6 int.
Rushing - Antonio Wimbush 81 rush, 348 yds, 7 TD; Zach Reader 18 rush, 96 yds, TD.
Receiving - LaQuvionte Gonzalez 24 rec, 249 yds, 3 TD; Caleb Smith 17 rec, 152 yds, 6 TD; Antonio Wimbush 17 rec, 143 yds, 4 TD.

Sacks - Christopher Robinson 1.5; Kurt Huff 0.5.
