ORLANDO PREDATORS (2-3) AT CHICAGO RUSH (4 -1)

SUNDAY, MARCH 21st, AT 11 A.M. CT

A quarterback showcase will be on display on NBC this Sunday at 11 a.m. CT. Chicago QB RAYMOND PHILYAW (6-1, 200, Louisiana-Monroe) and the Central Division leading Chicago Rush (4-1) rekindle an interdivision rivalry with rookie QB JOE HAMILTON (5-10, 190, Georgia Tech) and the Orlando Predators (2-3).

The Rush-Predators heated history dates back to the 2001 season, when the expansion Chicago Rush beat the defending champion Predators to secure a spot in the postseason. The very next week, the Rush traveled to Orlando for the opening round of the AFL playoffs and again defeated the Predators, 41-26, amassing existing tension between the two teams. Philyaw's quick feet and smart decision-making helps make him the only quarterback in the League this season that has eluded a sack and has not thrown an interception (15 passing and eight rushing touchdowns). On the other end of the fifth-year star's passes are the duo of WR/DB LINDSAY FLESHMAN (22 receptions and four touchdowns) and Rookie OS ETU MOLDEN (23 receptions and seven touchdowns).

Hamilton (23 TDs and 2 INTs), who has the instincts of a seasoned veteran, remains a top contender for Rookie of the Year honors. The former Georgia Tech standout's main targets will be WR/LB CORY FLEMING (38 receptions and 11 touchdowns), WR/DB BRET COOPER (23 receptions and three touchdowns) and OS JAMES BOWDEN (22 receptions and four touchdowns).

AFL MILESTONE

Chicago Rush fullback/linebaker BOB MCMILLEN enters Week 7 ranked No. 3 in the AFL in rushing with 27 carries for 106 yards and six touchdowns. Two weeks ago, McMillen became the first player in AFL history to rush for 100-or-more yards in six consecutive seasons in his 100th career AFL regular-season game (March 7).

In his 10th AFL season, McMillen (6-2, 254, Illinois Benedictine) needs just 30 more rushing yards to become the fifth player in AFL history to rush for 1,000 career yards. The two-time ArenaBowl champion (1997 with Arizona, 2002) also needs just one more rushing touchdown to become the sixth player in history to rush for 50 career touchdowns.

In four short seasons the af2 has nearly doubled in size from 15 teams to 25. arenafootball2 promotes a fan friendly attitude with autograph sessions on the field for the home team after each game. The af2 and the AFL strictly adhere to a Fans Bill of Rights which is unique to any major sport. The Fans Bill of Rights includes: every fan is entitled to a wholesome environment for guests and family members, free of violence, profane gestures and language or rude and invasive behavior that could in any way interfere with a first-class entertainment experience; every fan demands that we maintain absolute respect for the game of Arena Football and maintain the integrity of the finest of fair competition at all times; every Fan deserves our very best effort on a consistent basis, on every play on the field, every action in the stands, every call to our office, and every involvement in our community.
