With a win, Lexington can clinch a first-round bye in the UIF Playoffs and it is still possible for the Horsemen to secure the #1 seed. It is a longshot, but Sioux Falls must lose both of their remaining games, while Lexington wins both. Then with tie breakers, the Horsemen could edge the Storm. Lexington wide reciever Harry Lewis is on pace to break the UIF record for most pass receptions in a season. Lewis leads the league with 64 receptions. The record is held by Jeremy Dutcher, who caught 72 passes for Fort Wayne last season. Fort Wayne is still in the mix for playoff contention as well. Winning their final two games could put Fort Wayne in a tie for the final playoff spot and tiebreakers could put them in. Freedom wide reciever Adrian Reese is currently tied for second in the UIF in pass receptions with 60.
