This was news we got Thursday afternoon as I hesitantly held on to my power rankings article, because I thought that if I released it, I would jinx it and they wouldn’t play week 6, but that didn’t matter as they followed suit with the other professional sports leagues.

Despite Daniels’ 100 yards and touchdown Battle Hawks’ kicker Taylor Russolino notched a late game 58-yard field goal to seal the deal.
