Breakdown
FIGHTERS
Frisco has a golden opportunity in this season finale against the Rattlers. Simply put, a win gives the Fighters the top seed throughout the playoffs. Should they fall in this one, they would end up either second (if the Massachusetts Pirates lose to the Iowa Barnstormers) or third (if the Pirates defeat the Rattlers). Regardless Frisco will host a First Round playoff game on August 28 at 5:05 p.m. (pacific). The Fighters' defense allows the second-fewest points per game at 35.5. Malik Henry has started the past three games at quarterback for the Fighters. He is completing 56 percent of his passes with five touchdowns and two interceptions. Backup Jerrod Heard sees spot time as a rusher, receiver and on special teams. Demarcus Felton averages 38.4 rushing yards per outing with 19 touchdowns. Mark Munson, Manny Arceneaux and Marques Rodgers make for a powerful receiver trio. Khalil Williams leads the defense with 47 tackles, while Charles Williams comes in with 39 tackles and a league-high 10 sacks, as well as 14 tackles for loss.
RATTLERS
When it comes to playoff seeding, Arizona is in the exact same position as Frisco. Win and they earn the number one seed. Lose and the Rattlers are in second (with a Pirates' loss to the Barnstormers) or third (with a Pirates' loss). This has been one of the most anticipated matchups in the IFL for several weeks now, and it is finally here. The Rattlers allow the third-lowest points in the league, just behind the Fighters, at 35.6. They are second in points scored at 50.2. Drew Powe3ll is a frontrunner for league MVP. The dual threat quarterback is completing a league-high 69 percent of his passes with 27 touchdowns and seven picks. He also is the league's leading rusher with 67.9 yards per game and 33 touchdowns. Nick LaSane and Darrell Monroe are threats in the rushing game, and Jarrod Harrington and Jamal Miles combine for 17 touchdowns. Devin Cockrell and Dillon Winfrey lead the defense with 57 and 55 tackles, respectively and Winfrey's eight picks lead the league. Nikolas D'Avanzo has registered six sacks.
