* Birmingham QB David Schmitt tied a league single-game record by throwing 10 TD passes during a 75-14 stomping of the Shreveport Steamer. Schmitt was 50-for-56 for 469 yards and a 141.15 QBR. His 50 completions rank third all-time behind former Portland QB William Hill (55 and 53). Schmitt set a record for completion percentage (89.3) by a QB with more than 41 pass attempts in a game. Shreveport's Edgar Jones (23-for-23), Cleveland's Chester Daugherty (19-for-19), and Jacksonville's Charles Evans (18-for-18) have all completed 100 percent of the minimum 14 pass attempts in a game. Schmitt had thrown 10 TDs during Birmingham's first seven games.
* The league's last unbeaten team, the Denver Gold, is unbeaten no longer. The Portland Storm shut down Denver QB Dustin Nichols and scored all of its points in the second quarter while surprising the Gold, 17-10. Nichols was 19-for-45 passing for 183 yards (52.36 QBR). Portland, trying to avoid the first losing season in franchise history, has won two in a row after an 0-6 start. CB Kenneth Williams was credited with six tackles and MLB Jeff Melton intercepted a pass.
* Memphis QB James Perry fired five TD passes during a 29-point fourth quarter as the Showboats pulled away for a 46-17 triumph over the Washington Federals. Perry passed for 548 yards and six TDs in the game and leads the league in TD passes (34), passing yards (3,843), interceptions (18) and QBR (101.26).
* The Pittsburgh Maulers (6-2) are back on top of the Atlantic Division following a 27-10 win over Oklahoma in which they limited the Outlaws to 131 net yards. WLB Fred Leeper had nine tackles for Pittsburgh, which is seeking its first division title in five seasons after having won six in a row from 1974-79.
* Jacksonville CB Gordon Wong made seven tackles and intercepted two passes, returning one 40 yards for a TD, during a 44-17 win over the Tampa Bay Bandits. Jacksonville (6-2) might as well start resting its starters for the playoffs, as the Bulls are are sitting with a four-game lead in the Southeast Division after eight games.
* The Arizona Wranglers stopped Cleveland on third-and-one from the 3-yard line, forcing the Thunderbolts to settle for the tying field goal with 1:36 remaining in regulation time. Then, with less than 5 minutes remaining in OT, Thunderbolts WR Samuel Draper (100 Avoid Fumble) lost the handle and the Wranglers recovered at the Cleveland 10. Ronald Hensley booted a 27-yard field goal on the next play to give Arizona a 13-10 win.
* The Detroit Wheels have won six in a row after an 0-2 start, including a 23-9 victory over the New York Stars behind 94 yards rushing and a TD from The Billy Club backfield (Billy Smith and Billy Brink).
* Boston Breakers CB Willie Lawton had 14 tackles and an interception during a 42-28 loss to the New Orleans VooDoo.

Erm.....GG Stalions, shame you punted on the 4th drive, that would have been some unique set of drives. Yeh, you kicked me **** bad but that was a top drawer passing display. Well done.

GG gold. My team is finally coming to life, I'm hoping it's not just too little too late for a playoff run.

Well that was a simdiculous game Steamer....I didn't even think it was possible to score 75 points in 4.5.....anyone that's been playing MFN for very long know a game like that says more about the sim than the team's involved....I expect when we meet in a couple weeks that game won't look anything like this game.

GG bandits

Just want to add that with that interception return for a touchdown Gordon Wong has the most return touchdowns ever with 4 in just his 4th season in the league.

GG Southern California

Glad I turned my game off after the 3rd quarter.....

I'm starting to get really tired of seeing the same plays over & over again in every game I play.
