Bloomington comes into the game desperately needing a win to stay in the playoff hunt. The Extreme have dropped three in a row and are currently on the outside looking in on the playoffs. Linebackers Winston Taylor and Lamar Baker are the only Extreme players in the top 25 in the league in tackles. Newcomer Quince Holman leads the team in sacks with 4.5 despite only playing in six games. Sioux Falls can secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with a victory over the Extreme. If the Storm's turnover margin of +16 stands, it will set a new UIF record. Sioux Falls has only turned the ball over 15 times this season, which is the lowest in the league. Sioux Falls has only allowed 22 touchdowns through the air this season. The next closest team (Omaha) has given up 32.
